Review of The Becoming by thedefinitearticle63

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

Previous Story: Repeat Offender

This probably the most interesting of this anthology. The worldbuilding here is immaculate and in just 30 minutes this planet feels like it has a real civilisation with an actual culture and traditions. The lack of a genuine enemy here means it's just the Doctor and Turlough observing an alien ritual and that's a very unique angle for a story. The wintery setting also feels distinct thanks to the soundscape and soundtrack. It's all wrapped up neatly at the end with the reveal of how the Hungerers are made. Overall, I think this story has the strongest atmosphere and worldbuilding in this anthology and a decent way to end it off.

Next Story: The Blazing Hour
