About this listen
A planetary ecological disaster! An incurable, disfiguring genetic disease....
Aliens in breach of galactic law! Nyssa under arrest! The TARDIS inoperable! The Doctor facing interrogation! Another situation of dire peril is unfolding for the Doctor and his companion.
However, what if it is not clear who is right and who is wrong? Who is ugly and who is beautiful? Where does the story begin, and where does it end? Sometimes it is all a matter of perspective.
Written and directed by Nicholas Briggs.

An odd story
More interested in making a nihilistic point than telling a story. The Doctor spends most of the story as an observer rather than an integral player, watching other characters argue two points of view clearly important to the author. The story literally ends with the debate unresolved; perhaps I'm old but I like my Doctor Who with a resolution. Even if it's "Victory of the Daleks" and he doesn't succeed, he gets some points back. In that episode the Daleks escape to s future where they look like plushies sold by Apple but the Scotish robot scientist bomb is saved by Amy. In this story, the Doctor literally says, "I don't think we influenced anything " and dematerilizes. Now that's more ironic than I can explain without spoilers but it doesn't reward 4 episodes of listening.
The cast do an excellent job bringing the characters to life but the sound editing is uneven. The background music annoyingly rises to the foreground on occasion and characters far from the action are realistically but irritatingly faint.
