The second of Stephen Cole’s stories is another short and sweet character piece.  “Mondas Passing” is about Ben and Polly after the Doctor in 1986, when the events of The Tenth Planet are going on around them.  It excels at having the pair have moved on despite being integrally linked by their travels with the Doctor always laying heavy.  It’s also only 5 pages long so it doesn’t overstay its welcome, but Ben is especially well served in the end.  8/10.
