McGann is a wonderful Doctor. A wimsy fairytale character is what you get with this incarnation (at least the earlier stages). Unfortunately, the rest of the play leaves you desiring better material.

The new companion Charley is very bare-bones. The arc they setup is not about who Charleу is, but about what Charley is (see The Impossible Girl, The Hybrid, The Timeless Child). The story itself with the Triskele is way less smart than it thinks it is, with very plain almost-not metaphors. It's the kind of paradigm you find captivating at 9 years old. 1.5/5
