This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Well-Mannered War (Audio Adaptation) This is an extremely fun story that captures the feel of a comic-book well. I thoroughly enjoyed this and while it was silly for the most part, there was some genuinely serious aspects. For example, the death of the Caesar's real mother. The idea of an alternate timeline where the Romans went on to rule the galaxy is fascinating. This is an odd placement in the extended timeline, both Romana and K9 are not present in this story though this is explained in the next story with them supposedly attending to business elsewhere.
