The Doctor and Bliss arrive back in their universe, after meeting an alternative Davros. But find they can't remember who they are, the Timelords have been fighting a war, but no one can remember with whom.

Its an intriguing set up The Doctor and Bliss dont even know how they are connected. Bliss goes to talk to prisoners, who are in the same situation not knowing who the war was with or why they're being kept prisoners. The Timelords have their weapons, the twelve and the dread shade.

There are mentions to some of their recent stories which is nice if you've been following them.

I'm really enjoying the character of Bliss - it took some time to warm to her but now I look forward to her adventures.

Its a nice episode not quite reaching the heights the the previous two but I suspect a breather before the final in this set.

Dreadshade picks up immediately after Palindrome, with Bliss and The traveling to Gallifrey only to arrive with some amnesia. This story was a step down from Palindrome, especially with the inclusion of amnesia, which is rarely enjoyable for The Eighth Doctor. However, it's still a delightful adventure with a lot of thrills and cool returning characters like The General, The Twelve, and Rasmus. The Twelve, being the main antagonist of this story, was fun. Julia Mckenzie's acting was quite enjoyable, but her role in this story could've been better. I always believed that maybe she should've been fully redeemed. Overall, this story was a fun little runaway story with the characters slowly figuring out pieces of the plot. It was nothing too great, but it was still enjoyable. 7/10
