He is also vain, ego-centric and quite mad

I very much enjoyed this story. I thought the way that whole thing was pulled together and the overall concept was very good. The story rattles along at a fair old pace and as Joshua says, very chilling in its execution.

The only thing that stops me giving this a 5 is that I didn't like the ending. I thought the resolution required a little too many leaps of faith (I shouldn't be here says Adelaide Brooks so then she tops herself... I didn't get that from the character) and also the dismissal of the two people by the Doctor was too fundamentally against his character. I just could never see the Doctor of Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, or Peter Davison or Sly McCoy dismissing anyone as unimportant. I appreciate that was the point that the writers were trying to make but it just doesn't work for me. The Doctor could no more do that than he could kill them. So I knocked a mark off for the incongruous ending. But still, a very enjoyable story: 4/5
