This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: The Shadow of London
Wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey is the best way I can describe this. Admittedly, I have a bias for stories that play around with chronology so for that reason I really enjoyed this. It's definitely the kind of story you need to give your full attention, but when you do, it's a great story with some truly interesting ideas.
The main villain being defeated by his younger self is quite poetic and I enjoyed the reveal of Edwin actually being from the past, all the reveals in general feel earned. This story wraps everything up quite neatly in the end. Overall, a bit silly, a bit serious and very timey-wimey.
