The first half is very distinct and stands out well against the other stories in series 2 companion chronicles. There is an interesting clash between the Edwardian and the alien that makes for a satisfying listen. As this aspect fades away in the second half things become a little more generic. Although there is a thoughtful, meaningful ending where Leela looks back towards the end of her life.

Louise Jameson does a marvellous job, but I don’t think subs in for Tom Baker particularly well when it comes to portraying The Doctor.

This series has been a bit mid. Hopefully this range improves in future series?
