Lalla Ward is so cute dealing with dolts
Hope Tom got double pay for this episode, LO
That countdown timer @1:24:18 bears a striking resemblance to the one seen in The Armageddon Factor, don’t you think? I just looked it up: it’s in that episode @2:18:00. 🙂
It would have been a better episode if Jacqueline Hill had reprised role as Barbara Wright.The fourth Doctor,Romana,K9,and Barbara Wright.A desirable combination!!
🎶Thanks be to Ti!
This isn’t a very good story yes, but, its one saving grace is the brilliant decision to let tom baker play the villain. Wish it could have happened in a better story but it’s shocking that this idea hadn’t been tried earlier.
Meglos is depicted as a Saguaro cactus in a planter pot? I think Doctor Who has had much more convincing aliens.
Romana 🤦♂️
