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

Previous Story: The Beautiful People

Well this one was silly, even by Classic Who standards, this was silly. Granted, it was quite fun, especially the dialogue. The story was ok, and the first 3 parts were quite solid. In my opinion though it sort of fizzled out towards the end. It's a story that takes a lot of inspiration from Theseus and the Minotaur, even the names of the characters and planets are anagrams places and characters from the Greek myth. In a very polarising season, this manages to be right in the middle.

This is technically the finale to Season 17, and it also marks the end of an era, as Doctor Who moves from the 70s and into the 80s. However, thanks to the extended timeline and the reconstruction of Shada, I won't be giving my thoughts on the season as a whole just yet.
