The Trial of a Time Lord: Mindwarp

(Series 23, Episodes 5-8)

Summary: The Doctor and Peri end up on a planet where the colour saturation’s gone a bit wrong and people are, well, pretty much warping minds. Peri and her dodgy do patronise a wolf man and Sil, the most spineless, self-serving bad guy in Who history, is back, chilling on a bed of ferns and eating sushi with his mate, the Magnificence. A surgeon performs the most half-hearted CPR ever (and only after finishing his cup of tea), Brian Blessed fits the role of booming, volatile warlord like a glove and the Doctor gets a memory wipe that renders him more selfish and arrogant than ever.

Watch it because: BUB-BYE PERI!
