now I enjoy this as a brave attempt to introduce a New Powerful foe into Doctor Who mythology.
Also a continuation of stronger characterisation of Mel as a companion and more a fellow traveller and friend of Sixie.
Its a pretty action packed adventure and mystery of the Doctor knowing a foe that we as the audience haven’t met before...but will very much get introduced to in coming stories.
I wonder why Briggs didn’t write the script himself probably too busy preparing Jekyll and Hyde and he isn’t in it either so Matt Fitton does a great job of it and is expertly directed as usual by Barnaby Edwards.
the story has a real sense of scale and also a sense of the complications derived from the war-starvation.There is also a tight gelling of the cast in this too characters are fuller than you usually expect in a release I guess the use of a family caught by this conflict assists in that.
I do enjoy the Eminence stories there at least was an attempt to make the Doctor Who Universe bigger grander wider than just the staple of Daleks Cybermen and Sontarans.
I would say my only fault with it is we aren’t given a sense of what a true threat the end of the Eminence War caused and the famine as all urgency seems to be in episode 1,but hey I still enjoy it immensely
