NOOO, IT CAN'T END LIKE THAT! That was an incredibly heartbreaking but beautiful story, and is a great revisitation and quasi-sequel for the absolute classic stories that are Storm Warning, The Chimes Of Midnight, Seasons Of Fear, Zagreus, and more - the elements of Charley's family we've learned about all coming to a bittersweet close here. The story deals incredibly with the consequences of Charley's travels with the Doctor on her family in an incredibly heartfelt and emotional way, and goes into depth on the struggles Louisa and Richard Pollard faced after losing their daughter, and the effects of Charley's decision to board the R101. I really loved the moments between Charley and her father: the scene where he admits to reading her books specifically actually made me cry, and the joy he radiates when he realises she really is his Lottie is incredible (Hardiman gives an amazing performance as Richard here). The story really feels like a bookend on Charley's travels with Eight, all the references to their adventures, Charley's memories of her mother, and even mentioning characters like Edith and Grayle, this is just the perfect ending for that story, and I can't see anything else topping it in the series, it's just that good. I did not see the reveal at the end that the Viyrans had wiped her parents memories of her coming at all and it really caught me off guard, on the one hand, it stops them worrying about their daughter, but it just seems like such an unfeeling and callous thing to do, and really makes me loathe then on a visceral level now, like I actually hate them. Their morals are so skewed towards the supposed greater good that can't see that the things they are doing are blatantly bad, and - judging by their development of their own virus in this story - it just seems to be getting worse (I guess they're dislikability is intentional for the story but gosh that ending was screwed up, at least Richard's investments are looking up I guess). Overall, my favourite episode of the series so far by a looooong way, and I'm looking forward to the series finale next time!
