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

Previous Story: The Labyrinth of Buda Castle

An absolutely genius story, this two-parter might be one of the best things Big Finish has put out. It's such a simple but totally unique concept. A planet at war with it's own ancestors. This story is absolutely fascinating and the way the Doctor and Romana keep ending up on both sides of the conflict, with their actions influencing both the past and the future is brilliant to hear play out. I love that K9 gets such an active role in the story.

Genuinely an incredible story.

Next Story: Legacy of Death

REVIEW ALSO POSTED IN LEGACY OF DEATH

Goodness me, was that a lot to get through!

Tom and Lalla have barely any chemistry, because they're only together for about five minutes in two hours! They get their own little stories, but connected together in a timey-wimey way and talk to each other via K-9. It's a complicated storytelling device, and I like what they were going for, but it devolves into a hot, confusing mess, full of plot holes and leaves me lost. Poor K-9, getting abandoned for 1000 years and still serving the Doctor by the end of it. If he wasn't a computer, he would've felt so lonely! The Fourth Doctor is awful to dogs!

A sci-fi war is such a bland landscape for Doctor Who to explore - The Doctor's Daughter, this release - they never seem to keep me hooked, and because of all the timey-wimey shenanigans, I'm not sure what the villains wanted - they wanted to use time travel to change the fate of the war and their planet? Not exactly an original concept, is it?

I liked the jungle landscape - if it's meant to be a jungle? There's some world-building involved, which I appreciate, but it's buried under all the confusion and main storylines.

The people who seem to praise the Doctor and Romana are awfully annoying - "Ooh, the holy TARDIS!" can only be said so many times before it becomes grating.

The score is once again, fantastic - truly the highlight of this story!

I admire them for trying, I really do. They just... didn't try hard enough. Good actors, clever ideas, but far too confusing and bored me to death.

An okay start to this 2 parter I lived the clifhangers they hooked me back in alot of the time however I found myself drifting in n out a bit
