The Enemy of the World


Patrick Troughton has not met many Mexicans His accent as Salamander crosses the Med, several times, but I don't think it manages to  go as far as Mexico
The second Doctor wears long johns
Victoria is quite pretty. There is a cook that complains about everything... no microwave. Granted that is class thing.
It seems there are two plots meshed together here.
The Salamander as a megalomaniac trying to take over the world. The deception of the ``survivors'' from the faked nuclear war.  I am not really sure if the former plot makes sense. I don't understand why the Salamander would bother with them. Was it supposed to be a harem, why? Yes it is his way of controlling the Suncatcher satellite but ehh really ??
PS, I would love to see a Suncatcher satellite floating in orbit completely forgotten about in New Who
The Universe of 2019 has an older woman pushing about a large pram. Despite the rockets leaving between Sydney and central Europe. There is also a hovercraft, this is the past's future
The food taster is a pretty black woman Fariah. She is killed off in true Hollywood style, it is also hinted I think that Salamander had used her as a concubine
Zones would be mentioned again in the battle with the Merka
One might make political capital of a Mexican employing robot harvesters.
Troughton does some great work flipping between characters in a heartbeat.
Its nice to see someone thrown out of the Tardis..
