What a marvellous set. They carve out a really interesting character with the early 20th century, Irish, aristocratic servant Molly, who reacts to things in a very different way to any typical companion. A bit like the 2nd Doctor’s Jamie but more clued up.

After strongly establishing the character in her own time (volunteering during on the battlefield of the First World War) they bounce around time giving us plenty of entertaining character beats for Molly, taking in both the “modern world” (1970s) as well as The Doctor’s “Tardy Box”.

I loved The Doctor sussing our the imagined “good Daleks” in the third story and slowly learning how Molly had been altered to become a trap for the Time Lords - it’s quite a journey over the four stories.

I can see how some might be disappointed that the high drama of the first couple of stories spins into “technobabble” in the final quarter but for me it all ties up neatly and makes sense - though I did need to listen carefully and rewind back a fair few times.

I really, really hope that I enjoy the future 8th Doctor box sets as much as this - there seems to be a wide range of opinions out there...!

Decent finale. I did not see the Missy/Master type plot twist coming, but thought it was a cool twist.

Now, for the whole Box set..

Honestly, I'm not sure if I really liked it.. On the one hand, it felt like a great whoniverse mini-series, but on the other hand it felt like a long, drawn out single story that I got lost with a few times. So really not sure what I'd rate it. I'll probably have to come back to this after I get used to the format.

Wow what an amazing way to end off the dark eyes set really good character moments I do wish this was actually eda s5 with like 10 stories just to flesh it out a bit but as for a 4 story box set it’s really well done
