Bit of an odd one this. The imagery in this is brilliant and it’s one of the Lost Stories I would have been curious to see actually brought to the screen, if only to see what they would have done with the limitations of a Sixties budget.
Although, the narrative is a complete retread of The Celestial Toymaker and Hecuba just isn’t that developed as a villain. I would almost argue that a cackling temptress just isn’t very fitting for the Troughton era and feels very much a product of a later time.
Not to mention the so called ‘twist’ really doesn’t add anything to the overall story or the wider Doctor Who universe. As far as I know it’s never been followed up on in any material from the Expanded Universe.
Overall, it’s a mixed bag in my book. But if anything, it’s one of those stories where you can practically taste the black and white.
