Started off weak but grew stronger in the end. I like how well the characters fit together and the tidbits of information we learn about them.
The last two chapters really were nail biters not the Cybermen and the Master of all people. The solution was quite simple but genius. It’s nice to hear more of the Master and I’m interested how he went from helping UNIT to forgetting who he is in the Who episode ‘Utopia’
I was rather disappointed how they dealt with the Auctioneers. After all the built up I wished for a better solution than just be killed by the Master in five seconds flat. I rather liked the idea of having an organisation opposite UNIT who uses alien tech to make money. It could’ve been explored better. Maybe they appear again, who knows *insert Tom Baker gif from the 50th anniversary here*
Certainly not my favourite box set but another solid one.
