The Ninth Doctor in three standalone stories all set in space. There's no real common thread to this boxset, but it's difficult to care about that when all three stories are so fun - there's horror set in the confines of a space station, a whodunnit with the Doctor styling himself Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote, and a political thriller starring the fictional love of my life Alpha Centauri well before the events of Peladon. It's hard to pick a favorite; the whole set is a delight.

2nd story is under 50 minutes. If you’re dead set against 4-story box sets then each story should be at least 54 minutes

I was maybe a little less into the middle story, "The Butler Did It," compared to the others, but it's still good. I'm always very happy to have new Ninth Doctor stories.
