Sorry I was late making this thread, guys. All days meld into one lately.
Goodbye Charley Pollard! Or is it?......
I remember loving this story when I first heard it. And it holds up to multiple listens quite well, although there is something lost knowing the twist regarding old Charley.
It's an interesting mix of timey wimey/Cybermen story. There is real peril surrounding the ship and the events that take place on it and it shows just how far Charley has come since Storm Warning. I like hints in here back to that story like the young woman dressed as a boy so she can get on the ship. She is well served in this final "Eight and Charley" story and is a good send off. I find the ending so very sad from The Doctor's POV, just one more companion who he watches die. (Granted it's early days for him. He doesn't yet have the guilt of the deaths of multiple companions weighing on his psyche. )
Well worth the listen!
