Synopsis

For Hebe's first trip in the TARDIS, the Doctor and Mel take her to the nearest available 'water world' – the Moon, two billion years in the past! Its advanced humanoid inhabitants, the Gilleans, are terrorised each night by their monstrous enemies, the Sheega. Even more worrying is that in a matter of hours, this ocean world will be laid waste by the gravitational interference of the blue-green planet next door...

Previous Story: The Rotting Deep


Quite liked this one. It's a really interesting setting and it works perfectly as Hebe's first adventure. So far I think the writing for Hebe has been exceptional, she's got a lot of depth by the end of her second story that most don't get until their last. There's some really heartfelt moments between her and Mel aswell.

The actual plot of the story is fascinating. There's a species that believes they are under attack evey night, but it turns out that they are the ones who attack themselves because they change every night, sort of like werewolves. It was a satisfying twist that caps off our second story of this run. Good stuff.
