The titular curse becomes pretty easy to guess within the first few minutes of the story, but I wont spoil it here. Suffice to say that Terry Molloy is at his usual high level playing Davros, Baker is his usual wonderful self as the Doctor and newcomer Lisa Greenwood is quite lovely as the Doctors new companion, Flip, a young woman who, at times, puts me in mind of Rose, but in a good way. Beyond that, the story is amazing, with Nicholas Briggs voice bringing a touch of new series life to the Daleks and one of the best recent screenplays, parts of which are downright funny. When Napoleon asks Flip how she knows he loses at Waterloo her response is priceless.
