This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Heroes of Sontar

This is a very promising story, Turlough is one of the most unique companions in all of Doctor Who so a story all about him and his past is bound to be good, right? It's not that this story is bad, it's just that it gets so muddled with all the ideas going on. The kidnap plot was decently interesting but it was followed up by the most predictable betrayal ever. It barely had any consequences either as Turlough couldn't care less.

There's a strange alien called the Morass, which I would have been a lot more invested in if it weren't for the really annoying voice. Otherwise, I enjoyed the cast's performances. Peter Davison and Mark Strickson especially put a lot of effort in here. I can't even bring myself to write more about this story because it's just such a nothing-story.

Next Story: Rat Trap
