What an inspiring and inventive way to pull off a multi-Doctor and multi-companion story. With a lonely wandering Doctor encountering shapeshifting aliens who take on the form of his former companions and previous guises.

There is a sugary thrill to seeing the left field selection of companions they pick. You’d need a Doctor Who PhD in 1988 to know who Katarina, Sara Kingdom and Frobisher were. Top marks for the least obscure companions being Peri and Adric!!

You know where the story is going, but it’s got a lovely energy about it. One of the better multi-Doctor stories I’ve seen in expanded media.

It also made me realised how much I’m missing the Doctor having a companion on this run of comics. Something has felt missing. Surely Ace can come aboard soon?
