Previous Story: Five Twenty-Nine


This is a really fun one, but nothing impressive. It doesn't help that it's coming off the back of the phenomenal Five Twenty-Nine. After that I think it's very difficult for anything to compare. Still I absolutely enjoyed this one, mainly because 6 feels particularly suited to meeting River. Alex Kingston and Colin Baker have excellent chemistry which absolutely helps.

The idea of the Doctor as managing director of a company is quite funny and it was a good way to satirise corporate bureaucracy. Doctor Who meets office politics isn't something you'd expect to be good but it works surprisingly well. My only issue really is that I don't like this as an explanation for the 5:29 event in the last story, it really felt quite mysterious and impactful so to find out that it's just some generic alien's generic evil plan doesn't really impress me.

Solid story nonetheless.
