The Story
The Doctor and Lucie land in a strange place where they meet Kalkin and Sararti, a young couple ready to jump off a cliff dressed in their Greek finery.

But this is far from being ancient Greece. When "Lord Zeus" sends down the soldiers to bring back the young couple, Kalkin shoots one of them with a gun.

Things get stranger and stranger as it emerges that Sararti and Kalkin are really clones destined to be inhabited by the minds of Hera and Zeus respectively. However, the ancient technology is wearing a little thin and Zeus is getting desperate...

"This is an antique: an antique to the tenth power"

Editor's Review
Immortal Beloved is up there alongside 'The Stones of Venice' in terms of quality of story. It is most definately a five out of five from me this week. The story developed really well with the pros and cons of cloning; body swapping; and immortality were presented well by the main cast. Jake, Paul McGann's son, was not too bad in his minor role, and may yet have a very promising future ahead of him. Next week, the Doctor and Lucie visit Phobos...
