Thomas Brewster Synopsis A curse on this damned reef — and curse the Doctor who brought us here! Drawn by the siren call of a distress beacon, the TARDIS crash-lands on an uncharted time reef. However, the Doctor, Nyssa and Brewster are not the only mariners marooned on this barren rock. Commander Gammades and his crew of returning war heroes have been similarly shipwrecked, as has the beautiful but mysterious Lady Vuyoki. But there's something else here, too. A thing of darkness which crawls blindly across the surface of the reef hunting for prey: the Ruhk.

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order. Previous Story: The Boy That Time Forgot Well this was infinitely better than the last story, though that's not particularly difficult. I had good fun with this one, Brewster is infuriating but I think he's rather fun and brings some much needed excitement to the TARDIS team of 5 and Nyssa. John Pickard is great as Thomas Brewster and his chemistry with Peter Davison shines in this story especially. The setting was interesting however I don't think it was handled particularly well, it was very difficult to visualise making it difficult to follow the action. Underneath the somewhat interesting ideas this was just a very plain and formulaic story. It could have done with another part or two to really flesh out the world. Brewster impersonating the Doctor and selling off bits of the TARDIS was quite fun though and made for some good tension. Again, I'm curious to see where his character goes and do more to develop his character beyond his first story. Next Story: A Perfect World Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
