Shadowlocked reviews The Keeper Of Traken, people being terribly nice to each other. What is that again? In today's day and age, where people go around bitching behind other people's backs, slagging other people off, bankrupting, happy slapping, swearing etc, people being terribly nice to each other is about as alien as a horde of Daleks, Cybermen, Sontarans, Autons and Plasmatons.

The Edwardian Adventurer has 044 – Dangerous Journey (Planet of Giants Part 2), the Doctor and companions make their way through the DN6 lab while Forester attempts to dispose of the inspector’s body.

warreni's words has The Daleks' Master Plan is a fascinating look at a piece of Doctor Who history, but as a standalone story it’s easy to see why no one is mourning its loss very much. I just finished viewing the Loose Cannon reconstruction of this story along with its prequel, Mission to the Unknown, and it was an intriguing experience but not one I’d recommend to any but the most die-hard of Whovians.
