Previous Story: Girl in a Bubble


Another pretty good story, although having two distinct alternate realities in a row is an interesting choice. It is a good moment to stop and get to know the characters though, particularly Hebe, Mel and Elise. The idea of a story where the Doctor has effectively lost before it's even begun is pretty good. I liked the way it tied back to all the timey-wimey stuff surrounding Pease Pottage and Mel in particular, I feel like she's a character whose definitely not got enough focus in the last few stories. It'll be interesting to see how this all ends up.
