It's one of the most haunting Doctor Who stories I have ever experienced. It made me cry. It's so bleak. And in the end it's got just that bit of hope. The Doctor and Romana are incredibly well characterized. The implications of them emotionally are immense and the calm narration somehow fits it perfectly. Truly haunting.
