The Toymaker is back, and The Sixth Doctor finaly takes Peri to Blackpool, as he began to say at the end of Revelation of the Daleks.

I quite enjoyed the start, the Sixth and Peri having a laugh on the rides at the fair.

David Bailie makes a fine Toymaker and the character's backstory is expanded on. The conversations between him an the Doctor makes it sound as if they've met each other more often than we are aware of. And on a smliler note, there were a couple of times where I thought I'd missed something and went back to check, but it was more the way it was written.

The epsidoes are a bit uneven in length, I think the second is nearly 20 minutes longer the the first, not that it really matters.

The Doctor spends half the story in a cell. I think one of the issues when they tried the 45 minutes epsidoe during Colin Bakers time was that it took a lot longer to get going, and less happened. There was a lot more games and events in 'The Celestial Toymaker' than in this story.

Generally I enjoyed it, but felt the Toymaker wasn't used to his full potential.
