Review of The Doomsday Contract by thedefinitearticle63

4 June 2024

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

Previous Story: Casualties of Time

This is a lost story that I would have loved to see make it to screen. It's got that Douglas Adams wit that I absolutely love. The Doctor and co having to go through all sorts of legal loopholes to protect the planet is such a refreshing format for a story. The way it all ties together at the end with the parking ticket is brilliant. All the cast here are great and the story is full of plenty of fascinating concepts. I'd gladly have taken this over The Horns of Nimon.

Who knew bureaucracy was the Doctor's greatest enemy.
