Doctor Who Series 8 Reviews #8: Mummy on the Orient Express

Mummy on the Orient Express by James Mathieson

The Eight Episode of Series 8 and the first script by James Mathieson

The Companionlose episode that everyone was waiting for didn't actually happen. Although I was quite upset about this the story was very good, if a bit rushed at the end. A promising first script by James Mathieson. Looking forward to his next script next week, Flatline.
