A nation divided. A Queen's life at risk. A net of conspiracy closing in... Sometimes being a time travelling adventurer just isn't easy...
For a start there's a temperamental TARDIS that lands a few thousand years off course in 17th Century Paris. But why shouldn't the Doctor, Peri and their travelling guest Erimem take a look around the city on the morning of King Louis's annual State Ball?
As Peri becomes embroiled in a plot to kill Queen Anne and smash the unity of the Church and the Crown, the Doctor finds himself duelling Musketeers on the streets.
With Peri missing, Erimem catching King Louis' eye and a Musketeer's sword at your throat, could things get any worse?
Probably...
Struggled to hold my attention. Even on a relisten, i got bored pretty quickly. It's not a terrible story, and on the face of it, I should like considering it has a great team, but after part 2, I can't recall anything that happened. It just could not keep my mind from wandering. 3 stars for mediocre. Nothing particular bad to say, but nothing particularly good either.
