Season 7 is probably the strongest of the Fourth Doctor Adventures so far - let's hope that the final three stories don't let it down!

It doesn't make too much sense that the Doctor and Leela kept on referencing the Talons of Weng-Chiang due to it being Victorian London, considering they also visited it in the Ghosts of Gralstead, a story that released three years before this one. Aside from that, the dialogue between the two is fun and sparky throughout. Despite this, there wasn't anything that made this TARDIS team work especially well in this environment.

I really like the Morbius/Cyberman-esque idea of the monster. It's unique and not too generic, and the design of it is really creepy. Although the actual monster is a bit snarly, the ideas and backstory behind it is executed brilliantly - with a truly horrific ending I did not expect from the Fourth Doctor.

The idea of a training ground was really clever, but I was slightly disappointed by the way it was written, because there's nothnig much to indicate that the London that they were in was in 1944 - Why Victorian London, instead of Wartime London? Despite that, the scenery is explored in an interesting and fascinating manner.

"Topping day, what?" reminded me of Ten and Donna in The Unicorn and The Wasp. Hemmings works as an ally to the Doctor and Leela, and isn't too bland, but I still don't really care about him. I've sort of given up with the side characters that the Doctor and Leela meet by this point and I doubt it will improve in the rest of this range.

This is definitely a story I'll return to, but it doesn't match the standards of the rest of the season - If only there was more K-9!
