Synopsis

It used to be fun, Mind Running. Hopping into the heads of total strangers to see what they saw, feel what they felt. But one by one the Mind Runners are dying in a wave of suicides. And no-one on the planet Chaldera knows why.

The Doctor, Leela and K9 arrive in the city that covers all of this dying world as it prepares to evacuate its people, and they immediately find themselves involved in a mystery. Who or what is responsible for the wave of death? Is it the motorised cult known as the Digitals? The enigmatic Mr Shift?

Or did all the victims attempt to run the Night Mind, the demonic consciousness of legend that is so twisted and evil that it drives mad all who touch it?

The TARDIS crew are about to find out.

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

Previous Story: The Crowmarsh Experiment

That was a great story, start to finish. The world felt very well thought out and lived in and the concept of Mind Runners is brilliantly unique. As the start to a two-parter, it's a very strong one. There were a lot of fun character moments, further cementing 4, Leela and K9 as one of my favourite TARDIS teams so far. The reveal of the villain was very well set up with a casual mention of him at the start. Overall, it's a story with a lot of atmosphere and great execution on some unique concepts so I'm curious to see where this will go.
