Verdict
Tightly realised and directed make for a good proper adventure in space where the surrounding atmosphere and technology could kill The Doctor at any minute. Fantastically designed sets and cinematography make for a good overall viewing. The plot is fast paced which is excellent and some tensely created scenes can be seen here. The script is full of shocking moments – The Blind Doctor, the opening and the ending making for a memorable space tale about greed and money loving corporations who are only in it for themselves. ****
