And here it is the finale of the Key to Time. It's been a bit of a flat series, and were it not for the 75% of Stones of Blood, it would have been a bit of a disaster up until now, but what of the finale, could it end on a high?
The Doctor and Romana travel to Atrios in search of the sixth and final segment, when they arrive they discover it's at war with twin planet Zeos and under siege. Internal politics on Atrios is in conflict, it's Princess seeks peace, while it's Marshall seeks continued war. The Marshall takes the Doctor and Romana prisoner, and leaves the Princess for dead locked in a room full of radiation, but she is taken by a dark shadowy figure. The Doctor and Romana make their escape from the Marshall, but the TARDIS is gone.
Mary Tamm looks utterly drop dead gorgeous, the outfit works brilliantly, she looks sensational, by this stage she looks very comfortable in the role, almost casual.
Even after a few minutes there's no denying the brilliance of John Woodvine, he is excellent as the Marshall, he's playing it straight.
The acting of the play shown at the start, still beats Eastenders hands down :-)
Squid are thankfully a distant memory, and it's back to real sci fi, the finale was needing to be big and bold, and thus far it is, a great start. 8/10
