Fifth Doctor episodes

Terminus,

An interesting idea, King Kong on Molokai in Space. Space pirates wearing white cloaks and fab eighties big hair. Land on an inter galactic leper colony. The armour of the guards reminded me of Roman uniforms. We see Nyssa in her slip, and preparing an enzyme in her bedroom
The guard, at the beginning of the episode who wandered into the Forbidden Zone  looks like Martin from Green wing

The Black Orchid.

I did not dislike this one, as a period piece it works well enough. Remembering the distance in time between 1924-1984 is not an entire lifetime. Remember that there is nothing so remote as the recent past.

Tegan dances with the chief constable to save JNT from paying an extra. Tegan drinks a screwdriver (I was under the impression that screwdrivers were a product of the 1950s. American engineers in Turkey mixing orange juice and vodka Basil Faulty needs its explained in his show)

If anything I thought it would be interesting if, they had spun out events after the Dr is arrested. If the Police had not found the TARDIS. If we see the Dr being interrogated, roughed up and beaten
We see Nyssa and Adric being interrogated. Nyssa being committed and then Tegan finding the Tardis

Why go to the funeral, yes I know it's the decent thing.? Her ladyship was however willing to keep silent while the Dr, was accused of murder. I think you are excused Dr.

Mawdryn undead
Begins with some Dawson casting. Is that not a young George, from drop the dead donkey? The public school seems to be based on Harrow, the pupils are wearing straw boaters. The black guardian returns.
The Brigadier returns, playing himself in two time periods.  My dad must have really hated the silver jubilee. Speaking of times past. Tegan and Nyssa look contemporary in dress. As the eighties are being revised and revised. Compare with Sarah Jane in the Time Warrior, who is clearly a product of the 70s
Mawdryns space ship looks like a hotel lobby.  Or a hostel, in Peru.
There is a nice tough of continuity as Nyssa brings the 4th Doctors coat.
I thought Mawdryn and co, were on Rollerblades.The pastel and pink aliens seem to move quick enough for a group at deaths door

The Awakening
The fifth Dr, makes an off colour joke.
