The Keeper of Traken (Doctor Who): Review

Okay, so I know it's late, but I wrote this review up yesterday. But my laptop went out of charge! So for the first two parts, it was great. A little slow, but having a story start in the TARDIS is very nice, as that didn't happen much in them days. The Keeper was quite odd looking, but I suppose he was meant to be like that. As Anthony Ainley played Tremus, I began to think it was the Master. But then I realized that (SPOILERS!!!) the Master took Tremus' body. (END OF SPOILERS) So the Melkur was fantastic, and I loved it. Even though it wasn't a villain itself. But the way that it walked was really strange!

The cliffhanger of episode 2 was very good. When the Melkur says "It's only beginning" it just got me so excited for the third part. But it wasn't even that impressive. The effect when Tremus reaches into the wall was fantastic! It looked to realistic! It would have been nice if we saw more of Geoffrey Beevers or however you spell his name. The cliffhanger wasn't great. The Master's TARDIS materialising and becoming Keeper?

The TARDIS' console was gorgeous! As was the Doctor's costume. I'm surprised I haven't mentioned it yet. The last scene was nice, where Tremus' body was taken from him by the Master.

Overall, I thought the story was alright. I give it an 8/10, due to a little bit of drag!
