What a pity Doctor Who wasn't broadcast in the autumn this year, as this episode would really have suited a slot around Halloween. Still, the evenings are dark and the weather dismal all the same, and it delivered an excellent dose of Gothic horror, as well as one of the more historically accurate portrayals of the Diodati weekend I have come

It was a cracker, though I was sad that both the servants bought it. No bits of the future riding on them.

Yes, their fate does rather belie the fact that Shelley was saved because he is a historical character known to the viewers, not as a general example of the butterfly effect.
