Spaceship, Doctor cloned Location (Potential Spoilers!) Hexford Synopsis It's been many months since the Doctor was in Hexford, and Mrs Wibbsey keenly feels his absence. As her grave suspicions about her new neighbour grow, she is in danger of becoming ostracised from village life. When Mike Yates turns up at Nest Cottage with a visitor in tow, Mrs Wibbsey's life is turned even further upside down. Why has this strange new fellow appeared - and can he really be who Mike thinks he is? With UNIT watching the skies, and a strange forest growing daily around the village perimeter, it comes as little surprise when an enormous spaceship slides into view and dominates the skyline.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: Aladdin Time If we don't factor in the Second Doctor, this was an ok story. The first half was really strong with the mystery of why 2 was suddenly here (I'm not sure what to think yet of David Troughton's impression) but towards the second half it just sort of fizzles out. There was a lot of action towards the end and very little happening in my opinion. The Nest Cottage Chronicles have changed a lot since The Stuff of Nightmares (mostly for the good) but this story especially feels like generic Nick Briggs Big Finish level action. Still, there's a good cliffhanger I'm confident that the second part will be much better but as I haven't listened to that yet I can only review this story as it is and as it is it's just settting up the next part.
