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

Previous Story: Friendly Fire

This is a decent story that could have been so much better. It suffers from not really knowing what to do, it starts off as a typical "amnesia" story where the main cast have arrived somewhere and don't know how they got there. I'm usually a fan of stories that start like that, and I was definitely hooked, but then the story just wastes time wandering about a quite English town.

This is all thrown away because they almost immediately remember their lives and half the mystery set up in the first part disappears. This story just feels a bit confused and muddled, a real shame considering the potential it had at the start. There are quite a few bits I enjoyed though, the overall timey-wimeyness of the story was great and mixed with the pre-war setting made for a brilliantly tragic ending.

Overall this story isn't bad per-se, but it could have been great considering how strongly it started. Still, with great performances and a cool soundtrack, it's not a bad experience, it's just not a great story.
