This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Justice of Jalxar It's a bit generic. It's a shame because I love stories that are set underwater, I think the limitations it gives you can make for incredibly good stories. This story is not the best but I had a lot of fun with it despite the characters being fairly forgettable. Tom Baker and Mary Tamm are on form and both make a mediocre story into a fun romp.
