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

Previous Story: Earthshock

I don't think this story is quite as bad as most people think it is. The first episode especially is really good and the mystery of a disappearing Concorde is very intriguing. The location footage at Heathrow is brilliant even if it is basically one large advert for Concorde.

I saw a lot of complaints about how they gloss over Adric's death in this story, but I don't really see that. They had a heartfelt moment at the beginning and then didn't really have any time to mourn considering they were busy wrapped up in the plot. The only genuine complaint I have was the Master in this story. He had no reason to be disguised, he wasn't hiding himself from anyone and his disguise feels oddly racist.

That's basically it though, the rest of this is a fun story with a lot of ambition that it can't live up to due to the budget. I was expecting Tegan's departure to be a little bit different, but we'll see how that plays out in the next season
