I've put this after the Radio Times stuff, simply because I think having 8 go from meeting Benny, straight to meeting a slightly older Benny is a bit crazy. That being said, this was a perfectly fun story with a nice long way around for the key and coat buttons. That being said, I think it would've been nicer if it was longer, and if the Roberts Master was mentioned, or the Vortex Shark got a bit more fleshing out, but this is certainly a way to kill 25 minutes.

Like a lot of the reviews I see here, I too really enjoyed her chemistry with the Eighth Doctor. The story itself is straightforward enough, perhaps to a fault, but I enjoyed the experience and the story was more inoffensive than bad. The idea of a cultist having beliefs around the Time Lords and TARDIS was a pretty cool one, and Venhella manages to stand out just enough given how short this story is. I would definitely recommend this as an introduction for Bernice Summerfield, as this story left me eager for pursuing more stories with this character. dema1020 View profile Like Liked 2 27 January 2025 · 38 words Review by Jamie 2 aw i love benny and this was a really cool concept story that worked well within the short episode length. the dynamic between benny and 8 was fab, i really hope we hear more of them together some day!

I like her sass. The premise of this story is a lot of fun, as well. A+.
