Finished it a couple of hours ago. Yes, it is, though the final part does get just a little messy. I’m not quite sure what to make of ‘it all still happened, but in the shadows’. It makes a good contrast to the Doctor’s failed speech at the start of part four, now he’s he realised telling them to reject the Daleks was part of the problem, but it feels rather….clunky.

That being said, there’s so many brilliant moments and the critiques of capitalism and imperialism using nothing but the show’s own iconography are just stunning. Also, Part 2 and 3 are genuinely among the best cliffhangers of the series. Part 2 is the weaker of the two, but it’s still so good because at that point the prisoner in the tower is clearly set up to be Davros, with the creator line (if you remember that this was a 40th anniversary story it looks even more obvious). As for Part 3′s, ‘Come with me to witness my death…or my revenge!’ is such a good line for a Dalek I got actual chills.

Flaws or not, I think it’s an unambiguous classic anyway. I’m very glad this is my first experience of Six because I think if I saw The Twin Dilemma first I would hate him.
