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

Previous Story: The Catalyst

This one is quite good, I think the alien race has unique concept to them, but this story isn't really about the alien race, it's about Leela.

This story is at it's heart a character-piece for Leela, it adds some depth to her backstory and explains some of her motivations. I think it's quite well written and a good listen, Louise Jameson does a great job at making it feel alive and her Tom Baker impression has all the mannerisms down.

I don't really have much to say, it's a strong companion chronicle that adds genuine depth to an already good character.

Next Story: The Invisible Enemy
