Hexford Synopsis The year is 1861, and the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey find themselves in the right place at the wrong time. At the rectory they encounter the ill-tempered Reverend Dobbs and his young ward Andrew, whose paper faces hide whatever horrors lie beneath. Tutoring him is one Mr Bewley, whom Mrs Wibbsey is startled to recognise. In Hexford Woods, the Doctor uncovers a secret which Andrew and his friends have been keeping. As the truth begins to emerge about the rectory's occupants, it also becomes clear why so many people have disappeared from the village. Unless the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey can help, the whole village will soon be terrorised by a child's imagination...

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Tsar Wars I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, its a very fun concept, the chemistry between the Doctor and Mrs Wibbsey is great and the story plays with some interesting themes of being socially outcast. Unfortunately, Andrew (the main child protagonist) is just really annoying and the fact that they are the one narrating it means we have to sit through this story mostly from their perspective. The actor, Guy Harvey, is also unconvincing and annoying. Other than that though, it is a fairly good story and the Skishtari egg is something I'm keen to find out more about.
