A very basic Beauty and the Beast variant. I was all set to complain that there's no whiff of any Doctor Who connection, but then the Doctor himself actually shows up towards the end, mutters some technobabble and solves the problem. Not much to it, but this one does fit the remit (Doctor Who + fairy tale) better than most of the stories in the collection.

It's just Beauty and The Beast in a slightly sci-fi setting without the power of love to help, and with a bit of a Doctor-Ex-Machina.

I wish I had more to say but I don't really. There's not enough changes to the story for me to really say anything much about it, if you like Beauty and The Beast, yeah, this is it.
