Review: Doctor Who: The Boy That Time Forgot

Doctor Who: The Boy That Time Forgot by Paul Magrs
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

In this story, "everything is [the Doctor's] fault."

Part One is intriguing and seems to be setting up a great story. It ends with a big surprise reveal and the return of someone we've long forgotten about.

Part two takes that surprise and ruins it, giving our returned character a horrible, horrible role.

Part three tries to make up for it, but after part two, the way it does so is a bit predictable. I must admit that I still wasn't satisfied with the direction chosen.

Part four runs with the attempted recovery but, also predictably, fails to get far.

I think it's a shame the storyline drags an old friend through the mud because it could have been epic and this was one of the finest performances from Davison as Five in the Big Finish run so far.
