Ocean world, Lost the TARDIS Location (Potential Spoilers!) Funderell Synopsis On the planet Funderell you can walk on the ocean. The surface holds you when you move, but if you stand still, you sink. Lights shift in the fathoms and great shapes move beneath your feet - schools of giant electric eels known as Sleeks. There is no solid land and the only locals are the Wavewalkers, hunters who live in floating villages. But recently some strangers have arrived, pursuing their own distinct agenda. When the Doctor and Romana lose the TARDIS to the deep, they need help. Which makes finding a fellow Time Lord on the planet very useful. The fact that Time Lord is Sartia, an old friend of Romana's, is even better! But this is a planet of secrets. Be careful when you explore its depths. You may just drown.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Movellan Grave This is shaping up to be a great finale. It's strange, exciting, tense and rather surreal. The stakes are high and there's an interesting mystery surrounding the Time Lords' involvement in this planet. Sartia is an interesting character, there's enough breadcrumbs to realise that something is not what it seems with her and yet the twist at the end was brilliant. Overall it's a great start and I'm looking forward to seeing it through. Next Story: The Thief Who Stole Time Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating23 members 3.78 / 5 GoodReads AVG.
