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

Previous Story: The Wrong Side of History

And so we kick off The Last Adventure with an absolute banger. The start is wonderfully chilling, it has such good atmosphere and it almost evokes Midnight with the idea of a group of people trapped in a scary situation. It doesn't quite reach those levels but I'd argue it's not far off.

The idea of all these trains being from parallel universes is really interesting. Having all these different versions of the character is a bit confusing but nothing you can't figure out and it makes for some excellent moments. The Master reveal was absolutely not one I was expecting, it was a really clever way of doing it though. I have to commend Chris Finney, he got Ainley's mannerisms down to a tee and it sounded exactly like the Master speaking through someone else.

That wasn't the only reveal, the Valeyard was also here. Granted, I did expect that one since I knew something of the contents of this set before but I still didn't expect it to be Tim. The Valeyard/Master interaction was really cool and I'd be lying if I said it didn't hype me for the rest of this set,
