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

Previous Story: Catch-1782


And finally the long awaited return of Dr Evelyn Smythe. If there was any story that deserved a sequel, it was definitely Arrangements for War and this certainly lives up to it. This story is just as intense and gripping as it's predecessor and Paul Sutton is a writer who clearly understands how to get emotion out of his audience.

The characters here are brilliant, the guest cast really bring Világ to life. From Justice Rossiter (played by the Gabriel Woolf) to the chilling Dr Szabó they're all characters whose stories you really want to hear play out, often more than the Doctor and Mel themselves. I loved the twists in this story, trying to guess who was behind it all and why was really entertaining.

The 7 cameo was interesting. He really likes to worm his way into 6 stories, this is the third time that's happened now. But overall, an excellently crafted story. No complaints.


Next Story: The Wishing Beast
