Review of The Winged Coven by MrColdStream

🙏🏼(6.1) = OKAY!

Thworping through time and space, one adventure at a time!


I was slightly worried when going into The Winged Coven because it continues the story of Four and Mrs. Wibbsey from The Thing from the Sea, which I found very boring.

Susan Jameson returns with her grandmotherly narration style, as if she were telling a bedtime story. She portrays both the Doctor and Mrs. Wibbsey well. Captain Mike Yates is also present, yet he seems to blend into the background.

The story feels very apt for this Doctor and is slightly more intriguing than The Thing from the Sea, but it’s not overly exciting or memorable. This is another religious cult story in the vein of The Masque of Mandragora or Image of the Fendahl, and the cult stuff is the most effective and very well described.

There’s quite a tense third act here, with Jameson’s narration and the music helping to make it all exciting and livid.
