Review of The Ghosts of N-Space by ItsR0b0tNinja

20 May 2024

The Ghosts of N-Space is a great story with the Third Doctor, told over six, 30 minutes episodes. While on the surface, and in the beginning, it feels like a simple ghost story, but about a third of the way through it changes and turns into the Doctor Who we know and love from the era depicted. The plot keeps moving at a decent pace, with enough breathing room to put the expansive plot together, and rarely has a dull moment. The characters, and situations, are interesting. The cast is wonderful, with the returning Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor bringing all the charm I was expecting. Elisabeth Sladen and Nicolas Courtney also give great performances as Sarah Jane Smith and The Brigadier, respectively. The rest of the guest cast is solid, including a couple of over-the-top accents. The only real criticism I can give is that sometimes there is too much 'explaining' narration of other's actions. While it happens a few times, generally it is very quick. Overall, I think this is a great story that is well worth seeking out if you are a Third Doctor fan.
