Another very good issue with a nice mix of folklore stories about fae with a touch of folk-rock. You know, the Doctor is almost always good at folk-metal stories, I think I'd like to see them more often.

Still, we have a living forest and a guy who is convinced that this thing with the forest is because of the Nix King (something like the king of the elves). After that, we're given a whole legend with kings, pagan sacred places and a special sword. And although in the conclusion it is all explained by aliens, I really appreciated the vibe of stories about the faeries. Another interesting detail was the criticism of the British nobility and the nobility as such through a funny optic: they appropriate the victories and achievements of their subordinates and subjects to pretend that they are the cool and powerful ones, building a clan legend around it.
