Tom Baker cuts a sad figure as though you know its coming to an end, but not in a way to undermine the character, its just one of his last stories. Lalla is gorgeous, I read they had split up and he wanted to rekindle the romance around now, then after this they got engaged. He was also very ill, which you can see in some of those brilliant Tardis scenes in part 3. K9 is treated with absolute disdain in this season which is really noticeable when you watch them all in order. Taraks death is awful, does she break his arm first, then he gets thrown across the room. I thought Aukon was good, the deaths of the 3 remind me of Dorian in Blakes 7 around the same time. The hand looks good on film then flaps on video, its a neat story and a bit predictable, Adric is not likeable but is ok. I read that he didn't endear himself to the cast from day one, no advice on how to join a cast, but acted like the big I am and got told off for it by Baker and Moffatt. Decent cliffhangers all 3. Good music, but not a patch on Full Circle.Linx D Oderanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587578831858117637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-29496678415508235592013-11-05T23:59:40.933-08:002013-11-05T23:59:40.933-08:00I thought he made them sound quite bitchy and back...I thought he made them sound quite bitchy and backstabby - he certainly did in his last DWM interview.

A time that she loved, suggesting that they were a family unit that got on like a house on fire and that she was extremely sad to leave when her time had come. It's quite a different account from Waterhouse's during the same period, his being much more self pitying and depressing. Perhaps that is how he experienced his time on the series but let's be honest, with so many accounts of what a precocious actor he could be he probably made a rod for his own back.

Especially ones written in the third person (that's a glorified version of somebody's childhood if ever I heard one!) so long after the events. These things always tend to paint the writer as a victim, as pretty much any account of any story I have ever read but Waterhouse makes it sound that he was particularly hard done by throughout much of his written account of his time on Doctor Who. Perhaps he just wasn't assertive enough? Certainly Sarah Sutton offers a very different version of the same period on Doctor Who.
