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.
