Another story which uses an under utilised setting for Doctor Who, and I may be biased since it is my favourite city, but I loved to see a story set in Prague. Using pieces of Prague's history too as integral to the plot is brilliant, and the villain is a really interesting idea. The espionage and spy aspects also add further dimensions of intrigue - its a really solid comic.

I like it when Doctor Who stories choose imaginative historic settings. I now know a little more about Prague in the 80s than I did before reading this! The dominant political force waning at that time provides a brilliant antagonist which can sit comfortably alongside a lumbering alien.

The conspiracies and different sets of spies provide intrigue. This then goes up against Jewish folklore clashing with political upheaval. There’s a lot to digest! Perhaps too many interesting threads as all of this wraps up with two of the show’s most common trope endings - the power of a parent’s love overwhelming the enemy, and the power of hope. Still, it’s an interesting ride.
