The Doctor joins Jamie and Zoe in the world beyond reality, strange characters and a new face for Jamie.
After a barn storming first episode, the second episode sees The Doctor and co enter a surreal world, so surreal, even Salvador Dali would blush by the concept. It's now very much a marmite story for most, people seem to utterly love it, or utterly loathe it. It isn't much favourite story, I find it quite silly from here on in, although I credit it for being imaginative, and the fact that they tried something a little different. I love the idea of the mysterious figure controlling events behind the scene.
Did the producers of New Who copy the sound of the soldiers when they brought The Cybermen back? They sound good, and look. What can you say about Hamish Wilson standing in for a poorly Frazer? As little as possible.
Muddled, but fun. 6/10
