. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 4hAll in all, cracking opening to the key to time #BinroWasRight 000
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 4hI wonder if George RR Martin ever stumbled across this on PBS. The years-long winter, mysterious crypts and ice gods would suggest he did, although this has amazing light world building that serves to decorate the story without distracting from it, so it can't have made that much impact on him. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 4hThe Doctor too is unusually passively for much of this. However he does still have some fantastic moments, including getting to shove a bomb down the Graffs trousers. I like to picture that whenever modern Doctors bang on about being 'the man who never would' 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 4hMary Tamm makes a solid debut. The Doctor/Romana dynamic is immediately fresh and interesting. They work well as another of the stories double acts. However, Holmes fails to give Romana anything really to do, and she gets lost among more interesting characters. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 4hHolmes uses his old trick of writing double acts to marvellous effect. Not only are Garron and Unstoffe an amazingly funny pair (and an idea Holmes will recycle later on with Glitz and Dibber) but you've also got the Graff and his general as fantastic baddies. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 4hThe Ribos Operation. I really really like this one, not just because Doctor Who suddenly looks good again but because no other show could do a sci-fi/medieval crime caper, and that's why all other television is worthless. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 6hThe Vardens are a little rubbish, I think that's the joke though because the better baddies replace them but the problem is the Sontarans are also a little rubbish with their leader doing "Doctor Who monster" voice which I hate. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 6hI think I should sue Graham Williams for whiplash because you go from that fantastic cavernous panopticon set to some crap brick corridor pretending to be inside the TARDIS. Wild stuff 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 6hOnce they show up the wheels slightly come off and it starts to feel like the writers are desperately scrambling for an end which turns out to be Dr Who gets a big gun and starts blasting. Maybe he'd solve his problems faster if he always did that but it'd make for a worse program in my opinion. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 6hThe story itself is pretty good (upgraded to rather good when you read how last minute a job it was). You get 4 episodes of brilliant intrigue and adventure then in one of the shows best ever cliffhangers you get Sontarans. It's a great way to structure a script 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 6hThe Doctor and Leela have always been a delight to watch and are easily the best thing season 15 has going for it. Once again I find myself surprised by how quickly I've made it through a cast that, for me, is one of the shows best. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 7hLouise Jameson is also magnificent and I'm sad she doesn't get a better departure. Her romance with Andred isn't even half arsed, there's not any arse present. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 7hThe Invasion of Time. Not to once again drop a controversial take but Tom Baker is extraordinary isn't he? His performance here is just a ball of energy and oddness that no one else can match. The mystery of what the Doctor is planning gives him so much to work with and it's a joy to witness 100

. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 13/10/2026The first episode is alright, and then in part 2 we get our first look at the caves and it becomes instantly shit. After the initial laugh at the CSO it doesn't even have the decency to be entertainingly rubbish. A dull story poorly told. My least favourite Fourth Doctor story. 100
. @baronvonevilton.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Underworld. If I was going to use CSO instead of buildings sets I would've used it to create exciting worlds that would otherwise be unachievable and not to depict some caves, a thing Doctor Who has been previously very good at. 110
