Previous Story: No Man's Land


I don't know what it is with these later Main Range two-part stories being, well, not great. I'm inclined to blame it on the runtime but some of my favourite stories are 2-parters so I don't really think that's it. This story is pretty nothing. It has a cool enough idea with extracting people's "shadows" but it's so wasted that it might aswell not have even been there. What could have been a really good introspective look into our TARDIS team ended up being "mean clone Ace and mean clone Hex make fun of regular Ace and Hex". There was no attempt whatsoever to actually do something with depth which is the biggest shame about this story in my opinion.
