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

Previous Story: Spaceport Fear


After hearing so much about the botched release dates of stories with the Eminence I realise I'm probably one of the few people to actually be doing them in order on their first try. Loosely following from Destroy the Infinite (from the Doctor's perspective specifically, not the universe's) this story is another fun outing for the Eminence. On it's own the Eminence is not the most interesting of villains but it has a brilliantly chilling voice and the stakes always feel high.

This story is a really fun one, the worldbuilding in particular stands out. All the characters feel dynamic and interesting and it was genuinely sad when they died (especially in Barlow's case). The story does take a while to get going admittedly and it also gets resolved annoyingly quickly considering how much they built up the threat of the Eminence but nonetheless it's an enjoyable listen all the way through.


Next Story: Mind of the Hodiac
