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

Previous Story: Muse of Fire

This has all the makings of something good, and then it isn't. I enjoy having the Doctor meet characters he already has an established history with, but having them be so dull and uninteresting really makes me question why the Doctor keeps coming back. I did quite like the idea of treating some made up future time as if it was a proper period of history in the same way the Victorian period or the Renaissance are.

The idea of a music monster is a good one for audio but I don't think they did as much as they could have with it. There's some nice emotional beats but all in all I think this story was a bit of a miss.

Next Story: The Dark Husband
