Review of The Dead Shoes by thedefinitearticle63

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

Previous Story: The Stuff of Nightmares

The Doctor's tales continue, this time taking us into the past as the mystery of the hornets slowly unravels. This story continues on with that campfire-horror feel. Mrs Wibbsey is a strange character, it's revealed that she was once possessed by the hornets but you can't really tell what her true intentions are.

The scenes in the dollhouse remind me of Night Terrors, which was my first ever Doctor Who story. The Doctor and the hornets meeting out of order is also quite interesting, and similar to the Doctor's encounters with River Song.

Next Story: The Circus of Doom
