This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Judgement of Isskar

This story is a bit better than the last, mostly because it's a historical, but still not very good. I think this is mostly down to the new "companion" who honestly couldn't be more boring. The setting could be interesting but thanks to bland sound design doesn't really manage it. This story in general is quite muddled, a lot of things are happening and it feels all over the place.

The only thing I liked, and the only reason this gets a decent score was the Black and White Guardians. They're both performed excellently, and have a great dynamic with both each other and the Doctor. They're just fun to listen to, especially in such a unique situation for them that it almost makes this story worthwhile until you see the near 2 hour runtime.
