This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: The Vanity Box
Starts off quite interesting, even scary. The concept of the crew of a spaceship/spaceport getting trapped and slowly devolving into a tribalist society is an interesting one, albeit something that's been done a lot before. The idea of "business class" and "economy class" becoming two different factions was quite a funny one.
All that is very surface level and beyond it there isn't much to the plot. I think this could have easily done with being an hour shorter. All the atmosphere and genuine horror is quickly swept away in favour of a screamy runaround. The Wailers aren't explored in any depth whatsoever and even the main twist of one man in charge of both factions was one I saw coming.
Not very impressed by this one but it didn't feel like a waste of time at the very least.
