Where to begin? I really enjoyed this story, it set the tone nicely for this spin-off and was a great reintroduction to this incarnation of the Master. I wasn't initially sure how to feel about this set exploring this incarnation immediately post-regeneration, but it worked so well and really gave some great depth to him that I wish we got from his tv intro. Specifically, regarding Missy and the situation surrounding her regeneration. The side characters in this were great, and my god I was fully expecting the Master and Christopher to have more than just the kiss, but I'm glad they did share that. This incarnation's spin-off I think has the potential to cover lots of grounds and just be chaotic, and provide a different edge to the Masterverse of spin-offs BF produce. Having him have a therapy session was just such a good idea and it worked well too, giving more of an insight into his mind. Honestly though the whole episode gives us a really good insight into where he's at right now, and despite how long this story was, it didn't really drag ! I hope we hear from this group again in another future audio within this range!
