A random man in the tunnel of the Northern Line, looking up at the ceiling where ghosts are pouring down to kill him, stating, “I knew it. I knew this is how I would die.” Had me cackling. It’s a great gag.

This is the sort of setting I love to see Doctor Who in the most. For all the talk of it being a sci-do show it works best when it puts the otherworldly in thoroughly human settings. Anyone who has had the northern line as part of their regular commute will get a kick out of this story.

The concept behind how these “ghosts” are kept in the mortal world is very neat. I like the idea of the little alien who has been growing in the London Underground for all these years, waiting for revenge. And anyone who has ever died on the Northern Line being kept there eternally as a spirit.

It’s heating up for Majenta now. Bring on her final story!
