A fun, twisty first adventure in the post-box set standalone adventure era for 8 & friends; because of the very twisty time-based nature of this story, andalso driving around in a Dalek, this is essentially an ultra-Space Museum. It’s very cool how John Dorney has planned out the layers of reveals, and it all does click into place, but I think you could shave a full ten minutes off the running time if you just cut out every line where someone apologizes for how complicated time travel is or says they don’t understand what’s happening (one character essentially only says variations of this). The problem with that is that it makes the whole thing feel a bit apologetic for being complicated, which is sort of the opposite of what you want to do. Coupled with several absolutely diabolical lines (“he who smelt it dealt it” is criminal, Dorney), this is not one of my favorite of his scripts, but then he’s very prolific and almost all of them are great. This one is very good, but slightly padded. 3.75/5
