This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: Horror of Fang Rock
The lost stories is such an interesting range, there's usually a reason the stories are lost. Usually it's because of budgets but sometimes it's just because of the quality of the story. Luckily this is probably because of budgets and I think had this been a TV story it would not have been done justice.
It's a slow start, I'm getting a bit tired of the "strange things happening in a small english town" trope but this is atleast executed quite differently. The story doesn't stay in England for too long and we head off to the future where people are training to live in the past. This makes for some funny gags and made me reconsider how much we really know about our past.
There's grandfather paradoxes and general timey-wimeyness that makes this story hard to follow if you don't give it your full attention.
