Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
I’ve often said that my favorite Companion Chronicle stories are ones that feature Frazier Hines playing Jamie because he also plays the Second Doctor, and does such an excellent job. Thankfully this second entry in the Destiny of the Doctors series features Hines doing just that, and it’s every bit as wonderful as I’d expected!
We begin with the Doctor, Jamie and Zoe arriving at a mysterious planet near a pulsar. There they find a small research outpost. Yes, it’s basically another “base under siege” story. The scientists are there to research a civilization that had existed on the planet and had disappeared. Of course there’s also sinister goings on and deaths start happening and timey wimey stuff begins to occur. So pretty much just a normal Tuesday for the Doctor.
While this is a fairly basic and pedestrian story, it was well-executed.
