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

Previous Story: The Pirate Planet

I'm really enjoying Season 16 so far, the stories have all been good so far and it's just a TARDIS team I vibe with a lot. Then of course there's the lovely bit of dopamine every time they acquire a new piece of the Key to Time. It's just a very cosy format with some solid stories so far.

In terms of the actual story, it's like gothic concentrate, it's got the right level of spookiness and mystery while still being a fun time. I think the Fourth Doctor pairs really well with old ladies, both the professor in this story and Margaret Hopwood from Series 12 of the 4DAs.

I found the courtroom plot was quite funny and reminded me of the scene from The Star Beast (though for most people it would be the other way around).
