Cybermen in the land of fiction leads to them having some pretty mind bending, it generates compelling Cyberman dialogue. A very rare thing! I like their plan. Taking away humanity’s ability to use their imagination is a creative way of Cyber converting.

Some of the twists you can see a mile away (Jamie and Zoe being fictional). Others are a bit more of a surprise (Zoe being the Mistress of the Land of Fiction). By the beginning of part 4 though all of these threads come together in a very satisfying way.

Jamie’s emotional speech (why did The Doctor never come back?) is a touching moment, as well as the continuation of Zoe’s story, even if it isn’t “real”.

Elsewhere the plot was a bit fluffy for my liking, which is the danger of a land of fiction story. At points it threatened to tip into “and then this happened, and then that happened” with no real consequences.

All in all it’s a very rewarding listen.
