Some great performances, especially by Peter Davison don't elevate this story that gets lost in a tortured, convoluted plot built around another annoying time paradox and resolved, again, by the whole story un-happening.

This format shouldn't ever feel rushed, it's too long (I really don't like the classic who format sorry not sorry. The final part was super messy especially, the resolution felt so rushed. I loved Nyssa in this, getting to use her scientific background was good and the conflict with the Doctor / Adric mentions were fab.

It was a brilliant listening experience and I would urge this to be a must for listening. I love the simplicity of this story and the rippling effect it has. I can only imagine how amazing this would have been as a TV story even back in the 80s.

The call backs, and building on a previous story was good, I was interested and invested in characters, and enjoyed the Fifth Doctor and Nyssa dynamic. Still, not as exciting as most Dalek stories, but this was an improvement on Big Finish's Dalek entries so far. joeymapes21 View profile Like Liked 1 25 February 2025 · 13 words Review by megaminxwin probably the most average dalek outing ive listened to, its just.
