089 The Face of Evil

 Started 25-Jun


Hello Leela, that's a nice name.

Lots of great one liners, interesting hard SF style storyline.

Chris Boucher is a major new talent.
One liners like this abound:

• DOCTOR: Look, would you mind if I turned round? I feel a bit silly talking to this tree. 

Pennant Roberts makes a debut as director which is subtle and understated. Good return guest spots from Leslie Schofield and David Garfield. Great costuming (except for the bright green Tesh "slippers"....) The jungle sets are magnificent.

The story is the stand out. Unusually for DW there is an explicit allegorical element. Thankfully there is no "lesson" at the end.
