(Series 19,
Episodes 13-16)
Summary: Tegan is inexplicably still really huffy
about not being at Heathrow and Adric bucks stereotypes by tripping and spraining
his ankle as the gang meet a gravelly-voiced thespian turned highwayman in 17th
Century England where the peasants are being controlled by androids in bejewelled
suits. Rather
worryingly, the Doctor’s response to an attempted beheading by an android
brandishing a scythe is “not again.” And
it seems that not only is the Doctor responsible for inspiring Nero to burn Rome
but may have accidentally started the Great Fire of London. What a pyromaniac.
Watch it because: “Why not smile and let me go?”
