This story has 4 episodes which aired between the 24th April and the 15th of May.
Official Synopsis:
The TARDIS jumps a time track and the travellers arrive on the planet Xeros. There they discover their own future selves displayed as exhibits in a museum established as a monument to the galactic conquests of the warlike Morok invaders who now rule the planet. When time shifts back to normal, they realise that they must do everything they can to avert this potential future.
Vicki helps the native Xerons obtain arms and revolt against the Moroks. The revolution succeeds and the travellers go on their way, confident that the future has been changed.
My Opinion:
It’s an interesting story. The museum is an interesting place, full of weird and wonderful things. The early time “out of sync” plot line is good. The “trying to avoid becoming a museum exhibit” by changing the future sub-strand. The Doctor’s Dalek escape – is quite funny. When you hear the Doctor giggling and he pops his head out of a Dalek is both funny and a little cringy.
This story gets a lot of stick from the fans but I did quite enjoy it, the first episode has a mystery to it which is very interesting. He does suffer in the other 3 episodes and they lack a bit of Uniqueness.
The Morok/Xerons story line is very bland and feels like it has been done a thousand times.
My Rating:
7/10
