Short Trips ends with Paul Leonard essentially writing a novelette.  It’s a 50 page Eighth Doctor and Sam story called “The People’s Temple”.  Like “The Last Day”, “The People’s Temple” is a short story tributing The Aztecs for Sam Jones.  Sam as a character at this point is in an especially messy place, she’s one that Leonard excelled at writing in Genocide and that level of detail is done here.  Leonard likes to play around with the mysticism surrounding Stonehenge and Sam attempts to cause a slave uprising.  Again Leonard is generally tributing The Aztecs in particular because that is seen as the don’t change history story in Doctor Who’s history.  It does struggle with the ending, something Leonard generally does, but the Eighth Doctor and Sam are great, the supporting characters feel like actual characters and it has room to breathe.  7/10.
