The Magenta Price era is off to a cracking start. Because she’s a companion whose complete story is told via the comics, the writer’s have a much broader range of options in terms of character development. This era already feels looser, freer and deeper.

While the actual resolution of the story (The Doctor overloading a machine with its memories) has featured an unbelievable number of times in Doctor Who, it is done in an energising and interesting way. The environment of the prison in Thinktwice is evocative. The fate of its prisoners, continually having their minds wiped feels like The Prisoner. The menace of the aliens felt real and had me invested in all the characters involved. Looking forward to more!
