A rather strange story this one, I didn’t hate it but didn’t think it was that great either. The first episode is rather good & rather spooky as well, with the power cutting out in the Tardis, the sudden change of clothes, the lack of footprints, being invisible to the others and finally the team seeing themselves in suspended animation. However after the first episode & by the third episode you kind of wonder what’s the point to it all?

There’s nothing wrong with the following three episodes but there’s several queries that remain unanswered (for me at least, I probably wasn’t paying close attention) like as to why the Moroks are so hostile to aliens & why do they want to entomb The Doctor and the team and why did the Xerons allow the Moroks to take over Xeros in the first place.

However it’s pleasant enough to like if your not looking for a complex, dramatic story plus the final moment of the story gets you wrongly prepared (in some ways) as to what’s to come.

Overall Rating: 3.5/5 – Not bad but a story that, if missing, wouldn’t really be missed but the first episode and final few moments add something to the story but other than that there’s not really much point to it.
