Featured review
It's an incredibly slow start.
Janie is upset at Victoria's decision to stay on Earth with The Harris family, The Doctor takes Jamie on another adventure..... on board a space station.
It's an average first episode at best, for the most part it's a straight two hander between The Doctor and Jamie, with the pair chatting about nothing. Jamie going to sleep just about sums it up. The Servo Robot doesn't appear to be the greatest addition.
I'd you're still awake, look out for a young Donald Sumpter, who's one of the crew at the latter part of the episode.
The series began with a Cyberman story, and concluded here with another. Sadly this one isn't a patch on Tomb of The Cybermen.
Were they a little guilty of overusing the Cybermen? Not sure, they had a winning formula, but this was a dull first episode.
Thanks to Britbox I'm able to watch this with some tele-snaps and linking text, it's not one I listen to regularly on audio, I find it pretty dull. The pictures make it a bit better to follow.
Is this a story they're likely to animate very soon? It doesn't seem very likely somehow.
5/10.
