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

Previous Story: Casualties of War

What a story! It finally explains why we've been seeing the "45" crop up everywhere throughout the last 3 stories. The Word Lord is a brilliant villain. He's my favourite kind of villain; all-powerful God bound by some silly rule that can defeat them. The way it all comes together is genuinely brilliant. This story easily makes this whole anthology worth it.

Next Story: The Magic Mousetrap

Honestly, I'm not sure what I just listened to. Thirty minutes was far too short for me to grasp what the Word Lord actually was. I think it was a great and unique concept, (from what I understood,) which I'd like to see again, but this story didn't quite cut it for me. Should've at least been 45 minutes or longer. (Pun intended)

On the bright side, this was my first introduction to Seven, Ace, and Hex. Overall I really enjoyed their dynamics in this story and am excited to check out their classic episodes and audios.

2.5/5
