N172 The Vanquishers (Flux, part 6)

Doc ducks where Tecteun stuck and tries her luck in triplicate, torn between being tormented by Smarm and Assured, reuniting with the TARDIS under Kate Stewart’s protection in Williamson’s tunnels, and with no possible justification also part-materialising on Karvanista’s ship, which she promptly rams into the Sontaran forcefield to infiltrate their new headquarters.

Yup, this final Flux event has to wrap up in an hour, so expect ever-increasing levels of tension, excitement, inattentive guards, accessible shortcuts, cosmic coinkydinks, hasty exits, cursory comeuppances, speed dates with destiny, heartstring stunts, bullet-point scripting, keyword banter, physical impossibilities, general fobbing-off of watchers, and genocides.

It’s the very last instalment of Doctor Who Flux. Listen to the whole boxset of reviews now!

You'll enjoy these episodes, too!

N171 Survivors of the Flux (Flux, part 5)
The Mummy Returns, The Serpent is the Plain Foe, and Indiyaza Jones and the Candle of Tomb
N168 War of the Sontarans (Flux, part 2)
A pluri-temporal tater invasion splinters the fam across history while the baddies provide time stream tech support
N170 Village of the Angels (Flux, part 4)
Not wholly sensical, but probably the best use of Weeping Angels since Blink!

Here's what we think of N172 The Vanquishers (Flux, part 6)

We rate Doctor Who stories on a scale from 0.0 to 5.0. For context, very few are excellent enough to merit a 5.0 in our minds, and we'd take a 0.0 Doctor Who story over a lot of other, non-Whovian stuff out there.
