8/10
Brave heart Tegan

Warning: Spoilers
The Doctor and co. continue to battle Daleks, Davros and Guards galore, double crossing galore, and a big choice for a much loved companion to make.

Another bloodthirsty episode, with lots of death and destruction, it's quite a dark story, lacking any real humour.

I prefer the second instalment over the first, the story is more cohesive, again with some brilliant concepts, notably the Dalek plan to duplicate the Doctor, his companions, and to send them to Galifrey to assassinate The High Council, what a brilliant concept, pity that wasn't expanded on later on, could have been the start of the Time War.

The duplication scenes look very strong, the use of old material is frequently done, but looks great here, even with the bubble wrap. I absolutely love the scenery of London, at a time when it's seriously beginning to change, The Docklands etc, what a fabulous piece of history that is.

It's not all good, again more boring dialogue, especially The Supreme Dalek, sounds too clunky. Not sure about the attack of the killer shaving foam, and again Rodney is not great, but all in it's a fun, if floored blood fest.
