This is a pretty good, sad story. However, in my opinion, the scenario laid out by the plot feels forced; the script tries too hard to give the Master a sympathetic reason for doing the things he does. And I'm not especially into the "Time's Champion" stuff. ( )

Alas, decent performances by all, rather let down by the plot which is an extended piece of the type of fan-fic we have all read so much of since June. (Except this is Seven/Beevers Master rather than Ten/Simm Master.) ( )
