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

Previous Story: The Thing from the Sea

A fun little story, with a good premise, but like The Thing from the Sea it's fairly basic especially when comparing it to The Nest Cottage Chronicles. Still though, it's not bad and I found this one to be much better than the last. Susan Jameson as Mrs Wibbsey is genuinely one of my favourite companions now. Her dynamic with the Doctor is unique compared to every other companion. This story and the last do help to give her character much more depth.

This one especially made Nest Cottage feel quite alive and expanded on many of the characters that got a limited role before. Even Captain the Wolfhound gets a chance to be in this story after being sidelined completely since Hornets' Nest. As it stands, this is the last story in the extended timeline to feature Mrs Wibbsey and Nest Cottage which is a real shame because I've quite enjoyed this setting and these characters.

Next Story: Luna Romana
