Swallow the dubious astrophysics and Michelle Collins as a spaceship captain, and this makes for tense sci-fi, told almost in real time, as the Doctor has 42 minutes to stop SS Pentallian plunging into a star. There’s gorgeous CGI and David Tennant endures agonies, possessed by the living sun. “Burn with me!”
