The Seventh Doctor, Ace and Mel arrive on Earth in the future. And the two major power blocs are on course for war. Is this the chance for the Silurians to claim back their planet?

This felt much more of an early Seventh Doctor story in Sylvester’s delivery. I had expected the Doctor to have more gravitas than the comedic feel to his early adventures.

As for the plot… well it took a lot of time to really work out that there was one. For the first couple of episodes it didn’t feel that there was actually a narrative. There’s an encounter with a dinosaur, robot helpers/killers and the idea of Silurians. I say idea because it took a while for them to really enter the proceedings.

There were parts that didn’t seem to quite reconcile with the current TARDIS team, or came a little out of nowhere. Some of it felt like it been done by numbers, ingredients lifted from other stories and cobbled together without real thought into the point of it.

I did lose track of what was was going on by the end, but it didn’t seem to matter as there was little point or artistic value in any of it.

Its an enjoyable tale. I have heard audios that have been pretty dreadful and never want to go back to. This isn’t bad but just doesn’t really do anything despite having the opportunity to.
