(Series 20, Episodes 17-20)
Summary:Is it bad that Turlough is such a dick that I miss Adric? The TARDIS goes all explodey as wibbly visions of the White and Black Guardian (who, let me tell you, are really rocking that whole dead-bird-on-the-head look) warn that the winner takes all (who knew they were Abba fans?). Team TARDIS join an Edwardian yachting crew who turn out to be racing on historical vessels through space, there are space pirates and eternals who read minds and think they can outwit the Doctor and Marriner has a crush on Tegan but courts her with all the social skills of a newt.
Watch it because: Lynda Baron makes a helluva baddie.
