Stephen Cole delivered the script quickly to fill a scheduling gap, and it shows. The concept is easy enough. The classic trapped and hunted plotline has served Doctor Who well in the past. Throw in ancient Inuit legends and a vegetarian architect; you will have the basics.

The plot is too exposition-heavy without any real payoff. The whole spiritual v rational thread is handled crassly, and there are too many throwaway lines about the exploitation of wildness for commercial gains. Sarah Sutton tries to make the best of it; hers is the best performance.

Davidson seems to have phoned in his performance, while the supporting cast is annoying. Neil Roberts and Andrew Fettes play Inuit natives working for Christopher Scott’s English millionaire. It’s hard to tell which is the most irritating. They also have deeply annoying fake accents which break down throughout the production.

The soundscape is fine enough, but the score is utterly forgettable and offers nothing to the story.
