Kinda

(Series 19, Episodes 9-12)

Summary: Or what I initially thought was the most non-committal story ever until I realised I was pronouncing the title wrong.  The Doctor gets excited over some elaborate wind chimes that put Tegan to sleep, Nyssa takes a nap and yet another crazy man takes a shine to Adric.  Tegan has a creepy out-of-body experience and should really avoid eating apples when there’s serpent imagery and talk of paradise.  The Doctor’s pronouncement that it’s “the end of everything” may be a little hasty as the Mara can’t stand the sight of itself in a mirror, and it seems that the Doctor may have the hots for Todd but who can blame him?

Watch it because: Hindle and Sanders after their transformation are a delight.
