The Brigadier was the highlight of this story for me, I was very pleased to see him. He elevates every scene he is in. The return of Mrs. Wormwood was interesting but her partnership with Kaagh felt forced. The character dynamics are what make this story, the plot isn’t all that interesting beyond Luke’s struggles with where he comes from.

Though Wormwood was very annoying. whitestar1993 View profile Like Liked 0 24 April 2024 · 152 words Review by 15thDoctor Spoilers 5 This review contains spoilers! Forget the returning Bane, Sontaran and Miss Wormwood - this story was all about the Brigadier for me. It was sad to realise that I’ve now covered every morsel of Nicholas Courtney’s Brigadier on this marathon thread. Whilst I was grateful for Downtime, Death Comes to Time and to a lesser extent Dimensions in Time, I have to admit it was a bigger thrill seeing him in a higher budget, more legitimate piece of Doctor Who. When he headed home in his Aston Martin I had a wistful moment to myself. I only wish he’d been used a little bit more. He should have been the key protagonist driving the plot forward, rather than just an influential old friend / sidekick. He was such an amazing actor to the end and would certainly have ended up in Moffat’s era had the universe allowed for it. RIP to this icon. 15thDoctor View profile Like Liked 5 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating230 members 3.51 / 5 Trakt.tv AVG.
