Main Range #269

Released: 1 October 2020

Listened: 10/16/20

This short story falls right on the heels of the previous, with the Doctor landing on a transport spaceship in transit. The Doctor encounters some of the same people as the previous story, but they’re obviously different people who look the same. The ship is hijacked by a computer programmed to take revenge on the Doctor for something he hasn’t done yet, which is always fun. There’s some back and forth and identity twists, but the story is really too short to support much twistiness. And the Daleks aren’t doing anything yet except providing occasional spooky voices. This one is forgettable.
