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

Previous Story: The Thousand Year Thaw


This has been a very odd set of stories. I'm not sure it entirely succeeded in it's goal of celebrating the 6th Doctor. This story is a decently satisfying conclusion though. In the end there wasn't much point in bringing together all the Doctors other than to have a really fan-servicey moment where 6 lists his companions in order (as someone doing it chronologically though I absolutely loved that). I also feel like all the companions being piled together was a bit wasted, you can tell Jacqueline Rayner struggled to find a role for all of them in a 30 minute story.

Loved the ending to this story and the acting is on point you really believe there’s 4 Colin bakers in the same room The only issue I have is that hgwells isn’t mentioned in the companion line up making me think it was originally A Frobisher and peri story for holy island at least in my mind that’s how I see it might not be the intent Either way Quin dilemma is so worth it love live the sixth doctor
