Synopsis

Do you remember the Eighties? The Rubik's cube... Duran Duran ... deelyboppers ... and the Cuddlesomes — pink vampire hamsters, the must-have toy of twenty-three Christmases ago.

For so long now, the Cuddlesomes have been forgotten, lying in attics and junk shops. But now they're waking up. And they want to give us all a cuddle. A long, slow, deadly cuddle...

Landing in an England gripped by a strange new plague, the Doctor is soon on the Cuddlesomes' trail. But the toys are just part of a twisted plan to wipe out a whole generation...

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Burning Prince


A fairly short and very silly story with the 5th Doctor. Underneath the ridiculous premise it actually had some interesting ideas about growing up and childhood. I doubt most people will see it this way but I found it fairly profound at certain points. Generally though, if you aren't analysing this story then it's a silly little adventure. The Cuddlesome's are well-voiced and it's overall a fairly well-done story.

I don't recommend going into this with very high expectations, but it's enjoyable.


Next Story: The Secret History


If I'm being honest, I've rarely been more bored by a piece of fiction.
