Previous Story: The End of the Line

A very interesting spin on a werewolf story, having it be wolf people that turn into rabid, raging humans instead. The whole wolf society is very fun to listen to. Charley is absolutely brilliant as a companion, I can't wait to get to her stuff with 8. The story really gets going when the Valeyard arrives. His interactions with Charley were great fun and I always forget that the Valeyard has technically lived through all this before, he knows all these companions because he's already travelled with them. The end with the nuclear missile about to detonate was tense stuff and the I liked the hint that the Valeyard left a TARDIS key in the lock so that the Doctor could escape.

Great story and the plot is really starting to thicken.

A perfectly fine if a little unexciting spin on a werewolf story. Very nice to hear the Valeyard in the second half. He lifts the story considerably. It's a case of strong performances and a so so script.
