![]() When the lights start to play up too, it all feels very classically scary, with a classically scary monster. It’s a classic bottle episode, and it also makes it extremely claustrophobic, especially as the characters try to get as far away from Sky as they can. A small cast spends the majority of the run time inside the cabin of the vehicle. As the strangers begin to panic and discuss the possibility of throwing her out into the deadly sunlight, whatever has got into the cabin becomes stronger and steals the Doctor’s voice. Following the mysterious deaths of the driver and the engineer, something does seem to possess Sky, and makes her behave very strangely, repeating what everyone is saying.

She’s barely in the episode at all, aside from a few moments at the start and the end. The Doctor and Donna have travelled to the holiday resort planet of Midnight and Donna is determined to chill out for once. It is an unassuming slot for quite an unassuming episode.
