This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: The Caged Assassin
Easily the best story out of Volume 2 of Series 13. It's nothing really special, but anything with Geoffrey Beevers is brilliant. I haven't heard that much of his Master, but this plot is very in character for him. I also love the bickering between him and the Doctor.
I enjoy the 4DAs with Harry and Naomi and I think their dynamic is fairly unique in the TARDIS but this story and the last two have a lot of the things that annoy me most about them. For example, it feels like Harry gets sidelined in favour of Naomi, which would be alright if Naomi was an interesting character. As it stands she just annoys me, no fault to Eleanor Crooks as I think her performance is great it's just purely down to the writing. When I get to the Seventh Doctor stories with them perhaps I'll enjoy them more but for now it's not a companion pairing I'm keen on.
