Loborik, clearly a fan of Day of the Daleks uses the story to play around in that space with the original pitch idea of changing around history. This becomes a story where there are two timelines, one where a man is killed in a car accident and one where he survives. It’s quite surprising that there are some plot similarities to “Father’s Day”, though as this is not as good considering it’s just a side character dealing with changing history and not the companion, in this story that would be either Jo or the Brigadier. Still it’s quite fun and Jon Pertwee’s Third Doctor is captured quite well especially for the early Season 9 setting of the story. 7/10.
