Ghost Light is one of the most mysterious and confusing stories of the Classic Series. Beyond the initial strangeness, what did I actually think of this story?
It starts with Ace and The Seventh Doctor arriving in a mysterious house. I must admit, I didn't really understand the first part, but I think there's a Neanderthal in a house with some very creepy people. Eventually, they bring back this guy called Light, who does some things.
As you can tell, this story is very mysterious, and I do sort of get it, but it would be so hard to explain properly. Just watch it, because, although strange, it's incredible.
Despite not truly getting it, it was just very well made, and had an excellent atmosphere. I think probably you have to watch it to actually understand.
Sylvester McCoy puts in a cracking performance as Doctor Seven, and it really feels like he's in control. Compared with his early performances in Season 24, he's unstoppable.
Sophie Aldred once again brilliant as Ace, and the story is mainly centred around her, and what she did when she was thirteen. I won't spoil it, but it develops her character even more than before.
The supporting Roles are fantastic, and actually very creepy. There are some points where I was actually creeped out. I think it's quite similar to The Haunting of Villa Diodatti in style.
Overall, I'll give it a 9/10. Expertly delivered, and very creepy.
