6MR: Oddities: Vampire Of The Mind Review




Doctor Who: 
Vampire Of The Mind
By Justin Richards


"Damien, Dominion, Dominous... any other D words i oughta know about?"

Vampire of the Mind is an excellent second part within what i am told is a Three Part Multi-Master Event within the Monthly Adventures.

I imagine it Probably has a lot of ties to The Two Masters, and indeed I probably will get around to listening to that once I hit my 7th Doctor run. However as a standalone story it leaves nothing else desired, Macqueen is at his best, Colin is giving a spectacular performance as usual and even Kate Kennedy as Dr. Heather Threadstone shines as a one off companion.

With the right amount of camp and a story that doesn't truly show all its cards till the end, Vampire seeks to do a bit of fanwank while maintaining itself as a solid story. I do feel as though its a shame this story could have been done with pretty much any doctor aside 8, but the pairing of Six and Bald!Master is delightful regardless.
