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.
