This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Set during: The Caves of Androzani: Part 4 After having finished 5 on TV, it only feels fitting to finish him on audio with this story. Of course there's still new content releasing and I've yet to listen to his multi-Doctor appearances, but I think this is a fitting end for the bulk of it. Obviously, I quite like this story, it certainly keeps up with the quality of the rest of Circular Time but suprisingly I don't like it as much as I'd expected to. I think this story struggles from the lack of narration from Peter Davison, that was one of the things I loved about the previous parts of this anthology. I do like how you can almost put this alongside the episode and see what's going on in the Doctor's head but that does leave it feeling a bit derivative. In general I think the other parts were subtler and dealt with the themes of death and rebirth. It's also weakened a bit by having Nyssa so prominent and nobody else. I understand why as it would be pointless to get the other cast members to appear for cameos (though they technically did that for Caves), but it would feel a lot grander if you had more than just Nyssa. That being said it's still a great story and like I said before, a fitting end to the Fifth Doctor on audio. thedefinitearticle63 View profile Like Liked 3 Open in new window Statistics AVG.

Then he started to walk forward towards the white figure. He turned back once and looked around, and somehow he found where all of us were looking at him. DOCTOR: Thank you, all of you. Goodbye. NYSSA: He said. And then he started to run with determination, without a hint of reluctance, because he still had things to do. He had someone to save back in the real world. He had a whole other self that he had to be to do that. He ran right into the white figure of the Watcher and he fell, fell into the figure, spiralling down until he was lost in the distance. I suppose if I never meet him again and grow old myself, I'll have to say that was the last time I saw him, in a dream. But without evidence, I'll say to people that I know he's still alive, somewhere out there. I'll know he's still travelling. I'll know that he's still having adventures. I'll know he always will be. — Circular Time: Winter
