(Series 17,
Episodes 5-8)
Summary: Doctor Who meets its first crack in time as
Romana, inexplicably dressed like a 1920s' schoolgirl, and the Doctor take a
romantic trip to France. The soundtrack made
me momentarily think I was watching a seventies' arthouse film about people
running urgently around Paris but then the saxes kick in and we’re in a sleazy
crime thriller about a convoluted art heist.
Some famous art lovers turn up to critique the TARDIS, spaghetti head
Scaroth the Jagaroth is splintered across time and poor old Duggan just needs a
drink.
Watch it because: Doctor
Who’s French
Connection: we’ll always have Paris.
