This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Armageddon Factor

This was a fun little start to the series, it was a bit silly but it took itself seriously when it needed to. It continues on directly after the Key to Time, with the Docto sending the Black Guardian on a wild goose chase. I liked the concept of the alien, it's not completely unique but it's given a novel spin in this story. The supporting cast are all stand out, especially Robert Portal as Reggie, who plays a lovable oaf.

I liked the ending, with both the Doctor and Romana suddenly figuring out that they were both at the same place, unbeknownst to each other.
