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

Previous Story: Real Time

Can't say I'm a big fan of this one. It has some really interesting ideas that get lost in shoddy sound design and generally weird story beats. The Doctor has an interesting role in this story, essentially being the boogeyman to an entire species. It's an interesting way to explore the Doctor especially when he's forced to play into the role a little. Colin Baker is absolutely acting his socks off here and it's a shame we don't see him in more villain roles if I'm being honest.

Besides that I couldn't tell you what actually happened here, it's really dull and needlessly confusing. The voice modulation of most of the characters makes them difficult to understand and distinguish, to the point that Anneke Wills was somewhere in this story though I couldn't tell you where. It's all a bit disappointing honestly, I really think this story could have been a lot better.
