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

Previous Story: Maker of Demons

Well, it's been a little while since I've written a review for Doctor Who (other than Lux). I actually stopped halfway through this one and didn't touch anything Doctor Who for a good few weeks. Not because this story was bad though. In fact, it's quite the opposite. It's very reminiscent of stories like The Sun Makers with really blatant and ridiculous satires on different aspects of society. The main idea behind this one is a planet that only serves as a galaxy-scale parking lot, complete with it's own society that formed after getting lost years ago.

There's some solid dialogue in the story and I think the Doctor, Ace, and Mel are balanced quite well. The twist was quite good, even if by then I'd forgotten most of the smaller details. It's mainly carried by the setting and is otherwise nothing special
