Review of The Dancing Plague by thedefinitearticle63

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

Previous Story: What Lurks Down Under

I'm surprised Doctor Who hasn't visited the Dancing Plague of 1518 more often, it's one of those weird historical oddities that's perfect for a strange sci-fi explanation. As it stands this is a fairly good story explaining it away through mass hysteria. I would have liked some evil alien plot though, but this isn't too bad either. The characters are entertaining and Margareta has a great dynamic with the Doctor in just these 35 minutes. I think the premise could have worked wonders with a slightly longer story though, but that's down to personal opinion.
