mraltariel: That was rather a good season. Again.
altariel: Don't sound so surprised!
mraltariel: Tom seemed a bit more under control than he was in season 15. Possibly that's Mary Tamm.
altariel: Yes, I bet he was scared of Mary Tamm. She could eat him for breakfast. She's rather great throughout, I think. I wish they'd kept on with her attempts to psychoanalyse people. It's very funny in 'The Ribos Operation' and then it disappears. Of course, that story is something special.
mraltariel: I suppose we should say something about the over-arching storyline.
altariel: Hey, that was my line!
mraltariel: OK, go on then.
altariel: I suppose we should say something about the over-arching storyline.
mraltariel: Like what?
altariel: It happened.
mraltariel: There was a giant Christmas cracker puzzle. And then it was over. We seem to have settled into a pattern that started back in season 13 where we've got a bunch of stories, the good ones are really quite good, and the less good ones are fine. But there's nothing as exciting and ambitious as we used to get. And I'm thoroughly bored with Tom now.
altariel: I hear that talented young whippersnapper Mr Douglas Adams is taking over. That will surely hold Tom in check.
mraltariel: Or give him a fillip.
altariel: Has 'The Armageddon Factor' finished yet?
mraltariel: Still going.
