    This story really would have worked better on television. The writer concocted some fascinating visuals that just don't translate to audio, such as the hall of mirrors, and some of the action was muddled and unclear without those visual elements.

    Someone, somewhere, got drunk at a party attended by just the right people, who were also drunk, and were the sort of people who thought "Lead on, MacDalek" was the funniest thing EVER and what a great idea for a Doctor Who story let's file that away for when we get desperate... And they hit desperate all too soon because they'd been going to parties and getting drunk and showing up to work hung over and on deadline for a story and were still just drunk enough to think this was a good idea because hey we can have Daleks quoting Shakespeare. High five!

    That is the only explanation I'll accept for this one. it gets a star for McGann and one for Fisher, who both did their best, and really, a half star more for Dot Smith as General Hyacinth Bucket, but GR doesn't do half stars so thpht.

    The Eighth Doctor and Charley end up in a complex time-paradox plot with a near-future British dictator and the Daleks. This completely lost me when it became apparent that the Daleks wanted to restore Shakespeare to history, from which he had mysteriously gone missing. Daleks with literary taste of any kind? Seems utterly out of character.
