Interesting.

I think the pacing was a bit off - it mostly felt rushed. Could have done with being an extra 15-30 minutes, really.

Not sure about The War Chief

Tap for spoiler

They played music called The Master Vainglorious from the new Season 3, which gave the impression that he might have been The Master. Even after he’s been shot and his body removed, you could hear the beginning of the regeneration sound from off-screen.

Most of the effects were good. The colour did highlight just how cheap some of the sets were, such as the children’s magnets used as “control circuits” for the SIDRATs 🤣

I liked both the War Lord and the Doctor’s trials. I actually liked the regeneration sequence, although the second bit with Pertwee before he falls out of the TARDIS unconscious seemed unnecessary and a bit uncanny valley, even if the 1970/1980 gag was pretty good.

Overall, yes, I’d call that a success.
