Meglos
So I thought why not watch some classic Doctor Who
I liked this a lot
Basically the Dr stops and Alien from stealing an artifact that is a source of immense power
Tom plays two roles, it is a doppelganger story The antagonist Meglos- Meglos who is the sole survivor of a long dead race of plants. And of course the russet coated JNT era 4th Dr, and Tom is always good as a Gillian. Sorry as a villain. Tom's breakout role was as Rasputin
A plant antagonist is interesting. It's quite different then a bumpy headed alien. I did wonder why Meglos needed to kidnap a host from Earth. Rather than any warm body. In modern Who they would make more of a struggle between the captured host and Meglos.
This is one episode where the Dr can actually pilot the TARDIS. Albeit it is something he does off screen. He returned the hos human home
It's nice to see one of the villain's of the week simply covert the Dr's long red coat.
The escape from the Time loop is brilliant. The Dr and Romana realize there is no technological solution to the problem. So they try and preempt the events, throwing the cause and effect loop out of sync. Romana also tries to use the fact that the planet has counter rotation like Venus to throw the goons off...
Quite fun, quite fun indeed.
