It's incomprehensible. It's camp. There are so many all-timer lines in this. What is Leela wearing.

"MADAM, WHAT YEAR IS THIS?!"

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

Previous Story: Earth Aid


I find all the people trying to review this seriously quite funny. It's an eastenders crossover charity special, it was hardly ever gonna be some masterpiece of writing. I think that, for what it is, it's quite good. The only missed opportunity in my opinion is that the Doctors never physically meet each other. It's great to see all the actors again, though I really do wonder why Tom Baker showed up for this of all things and not something more substantial like The Five Doctors.

It's fun, and that's all it needs to be.

The plot is quite nonsensical and didn't grip me at all. In theory, that could be fine for a comedy like this, but I just don't find it funny. It doesn't help that I've never watched East Enders so that whole side of it was lost on me. The story's resolution felt rushed. At least it's nice to see a load of Doctors all in one story, although they don't meet. Probably the biggest positive is that it raised a fair bit of money for charity.

This is a bit of silly nonsense.

Nice to see some of the doctors with different companions - something I really want BF to do more of.

It really did not to feature EastEnders however.
