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

Pretty solid story, it reminds me of The Silent Scream from the 4DAs which explores similar themes of actors past their prime and generally just has a similar vibe to me. The soundscape is really good here, you feel like you're right in the middle of a movie set with people constantly rushing past and director's shouting and there's a lovely scene in the form of an interview and it has this fuzzy filter over it that makes it sound straight out of the 70s.

The plot is a bit muddled at times and I'm still not sure exactly where the machine came from, but it's overall enjoyable if only for the excellent performances by the cast. Certain elements of the story remind me of the Time Destructor from The Daleks' Master Plan with the pet dog aging into dust and the monster suit being converted back into it's component animal parts. Quite decent overall.
