Religion, Dalek-human hybrid, Mind Control Location (Potential Spoilers!) Strellin Synopsis In the Galactic Census, idyllic Strellin is recorded as a Grade Three planet – its inhabitants possessing neither advanced technology, nor knowledge of other worlds. Accordingly, Strellin is protected: landings by off-worlders are strictly prohibited. Unless, of course, those off-worlders are officials of the Galactic Census itself, come to investigate the origin of a mysterious sub-space signal – a signal no native of Strellin should be able to send... Breaking all local by-laws, the time-travelling Doctor and his companion L/Wren Mrs Constance Clarke (AWOL) have only just landed on Strellin, too. But they and the Census officials aren't the only off-worlders to have come here. Inside a nearby monastery, the monks of the reclusive Brotherhood of the Black Petal are guarding a strange and terrible secret. Something that might bring disaster not just to Strellin, but to every civilised world in the galaxy!

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Shield of the Jötunn I think writers should be banned from using Daleks in their stories unless they ABSOLUTELY need to because otherwise we end up getting stories like this which are only good for giving me a headache and nothing else. The only good thing about the Daleks in this story is that cover (which, by the way, is phenomenal). To be fair, they do do some fairly interesting things with the setting and the idea of a supposedly "primitive" not being as primitive as they first seemed was an really great twist. The two Galactic Census characters were rather fun. While this story isn't the greatest, Constance and the Doctor get some nice moments together, I do quite like their dynamic even if it's nothing that hasn't been done before. Overall, a story that would have been a lot better without the Daleks (something that can be said about a good few Dalek stories).
