A curious combination of witches and corrupt corporations feels like two Doctor Who tales being unwillingly brought together. In one, a tale of religious belief and pagan-style ceremony, Erimem and Peri are threatened by witches. In the other, a tale involving a corporate construction project headed by a cartoonishly evil CEO, the Doctor faces his own mortality (sort of) and finds a powerful and dangerous energy source.
The evil corporation stuff is more interesting than the crazy witches, so the play's good bits are weighted down by the bad, and the result is mediocre. Once again the 5th Doctor is not given the best material to work with and comes off looking the worse for it.
