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

MY SCATTERED AND TOTALLY IRRELEVANT NOTES:

This story takes a unique approach, starting not with the Doctor's usual heroic intervention, but after the day has already been saved. From there, it unfolds into a tale of two almost identical worlds, differentiated only by their leadership.

The narrative explores thought-provoking themes, questioning whether the Doctor's involvement always benefits a society and pondering what might happen if the Doctor were wrong and the companion were right. While the premise is intriguing, the plot, though simple, can be confusing at times.

There are also some issues with characterisation, particularly with the Second Doctor, whose portrayal feels off. The writing itself comes across as clunky in places. Additionally, the open-ended conclusion leaves much unresolved, which may frustrate some readers.

That said, the story earns points for its clever title and creative concept, even if the latter feels underutilised.
