Review of The Key to Many Worlds by Guardax

12 May 2025

This review contains spoilers!

I didn't expect a sequel to Marco Polo to be the same story as the Sixth Doctor and Iris Wildthyme get body-swapped, but that's what we got. Confession time: despite an enduring fondness for the legend that is Katy Manning, in my limited Iris experience I have found her annoying. She's starting to grow on me though!

I was hoping for some true chaos with Colin Baker and Katy Manning trying to play each other, but that was probably too much to ask two 75+ year old actors to do. Still, it started working more and more and by the end of the story you didn't even think about it. Not as good as when Torchwood did this though.

A lot of the story is nonsense faffing around, but the ending where Marco Polo (who I learned was gay in this story) gets to live his glory years again was magic. Overall, just wish there was more bite throughout.
