I was looking forward to getting to this one again. After all, it wouldn’t be a re-listen of Eight and Charley without it.

I love the spooky atmosphere, and how it freaks out and confuses even the Doctor and Charley. At the same time, there’s a lot of funny lines and moments. It happens a few times where something amusing happens/is said, but it suddenly takes a turn for the eerie. I also like how the mystery keeps the Doctor guessing. At first they think the ‘entity’ controlling the situation is playing with them, like it wants them to play Cluedo along with it. Then comes the turn towards eerie when the time loop sends them back, Charley starts being incorporated into the game, and they realise they’re very much stuck and not even the TARDIS can take them to safety. 

Edith is such a tragic pitiful character. She’s such a darling and they're so mean to her :(. It’s so, so sad when things finally come into place. That she was so alone, so rejected and neglected that she committed suicide when Charley, who did the bare minimum of being polite and smiling at her on occasion, died in 1930. I really hope her destiny really is changed by her final decision to stay alive at the end of the story, given how convoluted Charley's timeline is.

The paradox of Charley is proving to be a much bigger problem than the Doctor anticipated, huh? After all, he was trying to get her to Singapore. All of time and space and they end up in Edward Grove, where it was clear that a paradox would be triggered? Sus. Almost like the TARDIS is telling them something…

On another note: The Doctor is so sweet in this one, it warmed my heart. Love that about Eight. And Charley is delightful, I just really like her. Their dialogue here feels really natural and believable. The writing really does a great job of showing how the two of them put the pieces of the puzzle together.

And finally: I had to google 'plum pudding' to see what it looked like. Gotta say... it looks vile.
