Review of The Contingency Club by thedefinitearticle63
This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.
Previous Story: The Star Men
This is a fun little adventure, it has a very entertaining and unique villain. Instead of the villain wanting world domination or destruction they are purely here for a bet. The bet in question is never explicitly mentioned but it's implied it has something to do with becoming the ruling monarch of England. I like the setting of the club, the way the members have been hypnotised to see nothing out of the ordinary is fairly interesting. The cloned butlers called Edward are a fun little touch that feels very Doctor Who.
There were some fairly good twists, the ending was satisfying, I enjoy the Victorian atmosphere, the death of the last Edward was fairly sad. I have nothing to really complain about in this story, it's not anything to write home about, it's a simple story with a great TARDIS team and some unique ideas.
