I too was reminded of Horror of Fang Rock and how Baker would have handled it. Davison plays the Dojjen scene superbly, even the Doctors thoughts straying to saving Tegan, its really powerful. Agree also about the guest cast. Ambril reminds me more of The Gatherer, deluded and fawning, without the name calling. The sets and the world created reminds me very much of Ribos. Martin Clunes is outstanding, Colette O'Neil too, Brian Miller, in fact everyone. Apart from the Mara no one dies. A rarity for Nathan-Turner. You really notice how crap Roger Limbs music is when Peter Howell does his thing. The story deserved an extra 5 minutes at the end to explain the Dojjen Crystal thing. A couple of nice deleted scenes were wasted. Nyssa looks gorgeous, but take a bow Janet, this performance had one scene in Kinda and 3 and a bit episodes here, she is one of the best villains of the season. This is a very talky story but is better for it, the snake is so much better. Well done, a masterpiece of a sequel. There was a third that fell through so I read.
