Here is a review of all four parts of "Doctor Who: Nightmare of Eden" based on the transcripts from the website you provided. I'll evaluate each part in terms of narrative, character development, pacing, and overall impact to rate them out of 10. ### Part One **Summary:** The Doctor and Romana arrive on the Empress, a starliner that has collided with another ship, the Hecate. The collision has created a dimensional instability, causing portions of each ship to merge. The Doctor meets Professor Tryst, who has a CET (Continuous Event Transmuter) machine containing recorded environments from various planets. As the Doctor investigates, a mysterious creature attacks one of the crew members. **Review:** Part One effectively sets up the central mystery and introduces the key characters and settings. The concept of the dimensional instability and the CET machine is intriguing and unique. The pacing is solid, and the interactions between the Doctor, Romana, and the crew are engaging. The cliffhanger ending with the creature attack adds a sense of urgency and danger. **Rating: 7.5/10** ### Part Two **Summary:** The Doctor and Romana investigate the origins of the mysterious creature, discovering it comes from one of the environments stored in the CET machine. The creature is identified as a Mandrel, a dangerous species. Meanwhile, the Doctor learns about a deadly drug called Vraxoin, linked to the Mandrels. Tensions rise as the true nature of the threat becomes clearer, and the Doctor works to prevent further attacks. **Review:** Part Two deepens the mystery and adds layers to the plot with the introduction of the drug Vraxoin and its connection to the Mandrels. The episode maintains a good pace, balancing action and exposition. The interplay between the Doctor and Romana continues to be a highlight, with their investigative efforts driving the narrative forward. The expanding threat adds to the tension. **Rating: 8/10** ### Part Three **Summary:** The Doctor and Romana's investigation leads them to suspect that someone on board is smuggling Vraxoin using the CET machine. The Mandrels are revealed to be the source of the drug, and the Doctor discovers that Tryst is involved in the smuggling operation. As the situation becomes more dangerous, the Doctor and Romana must find a way to stop the Mandrels and prevent the drug from spreading. **Review:** Part Three ramps up the tension with the revelation of Tryst's involvement in the drug smuggling operation. The connection between the Mandrels and Vraxoin is a clever plot twist that adds depth to the story. The pacing is effective, with the stakes continuing to rise. The episode does a good job of maintaining suspense and driving the narrative toward the climax. **Rating: 8/10** ### Part Four **Summary:** In the final part, the Doctor and Romana work to neutralise the Mandrels and stop Tryst's smuggling operation. They use the CET machine to trap the Mandrels back in their environment and prevent further attacks. The Doctor exposes Tryst's criminal activities, and the authorities arrive to take him into custody. The Doctor and Romana leave the Empress, having resolved the crisis. **Review:** Part Four provides a satisfying and action-packed conclusion to the story. The Doctor's plan to use the CET machine to contain the Mandrels is clever and well-executed. The resolution of Tryst's storyline is satisfying, and the episode wraps up the plot threads neatly. The pacing is brisk, and the final scenes offer a gratifying end to the adventure. **Rating: 8/10** ### Overall Rating and Final Thoughts "Nightmare of Eden" is a compelling story that combines mystery, action, and science fiction elements in a well-crafted narrative.
