Day 219: The Mind Robber Episode 5

And so this episode ends with the Doctor being forced to write, and he writes the story as we see it unfold. It's another example of them leaning on the fourth wall, as the characters take over from the writer, in order to let the story unfold in the way that they want it to. And he's defeated by having the master computer overload, by introducing too many ideas for the piece, meaning that things become too heavy and everything starts exploding. This idea of the enemy becoming defeated because of the way in which the story is unfolding shows great imagination for how the story goes. And that's the key word for this serial: 'imagination'. This story is filled with ideas that stretch the limits of fiction, and show the limits of imagination as well, and tta makes for some incredibly entertaining viewing.
