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

Previous Story: Dream Team

Finally, after the string of very experimental episodes, we return to a bit of normality. This is a very generic story, but thanks to a solid cast, witty dialogue and a fun plot this is probably the story I've had the most fun with in all of Season 19.

The Terileptil design is great, accompanied by a menacing voice the Terileptils are instantly a great villain. This is the final classic Doctor Who story to feature the sonic screwdriver, a rather unceremonious end in my opinion but this doesn't take away from the story in the slightest.

I'd like to write a longer review but genuinely this story was just so traditional that I have nothing to say about it, that's not a bad thing, in fact I'd argue it's quite good after the very surreal Season 18 and similarly strange beginning to Season 19.
