This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Iron Bright This is the third 6th Doctor audio that I've listened to where his companion turns out to be evil and betrays him. It worked this time around though, because unlike the other two stories, Daniel Hopkins actually appeared in a story before this, that way I actually cared when he betrayed the Doctor. The story itself was standard 80s Cyberman stuff, nothing to write home about. It's cool that this is the first story with David Banks returning as the Cyber-Leader, complete with his iconic "excellent"s. Colin Baker put in a great performance here, especially when he started to be suspicious of Daniel. I do kinda feel bad for him because of how much this has happened though. Overall, a fairly mediocre story made better by the excellent betrayal plotline. Next Story: The Hunting Ground thedefinitearticle63 View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
