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

Previous Story: The Thousand Year Thaw


This has been a very odd set of stories. I'm not sure it entirely succeeded in it's goal of celebrating the 6th Doctor. This story is a decently satisfying conclusion though. In the end there wasn't much point in bringing together all the Doctors other than to have a really fan-servicey moment where 6 lists his companions in order (as someone doing it chronologically though I absolutely loved that). I also feel like all the companions being piled together was a bit wasted, you can tell Jacqueline Rayner struggled to find a role for all of them in a 30 minute story.


Next Story: The Trials of a Time Lord
