REALLY love this one. I've watched this episode over and over and always want to watch it again. I was really unsure at the beginning of the episode but it really really improved and I loved it.

Five from me. A thoroughly timey-wimey story starring the TARDIS - what more can you want?

Hmmm, this had all the potential to be a cracker but didn't quite do it for me.
First, the positives: The TARDIS is the second most important character in the show - and writers too often neglect that, treating her as a fancy spaceship rather than an actual personality. Steven Thompson did a reasonable job of capturing that. I thought the idea was an interesting one and Jenna was wonderful in the role of companion.
Unfortunately, there were a couple of things that stopped me loving this story as much as I should have done. First (and as with Hide) the ending was unsatisfactory. A big reset switch, even when it is telegraphed, is still a bit unsatisfactory. I didn't like the three salvage dealers (just a personal thing - they didn't sit well in the story for me). Also, this was a perfect chance to have an homage to classic Who - where were the white roundels? or the other control rooms?
It was a reasonable premise, the execution was patchy but still enough in there for me to enjoy. I went with 3/5
