Robot is in the Pertwee mould, but that just makes the new guy's performance all the more contrasting. A great example is the scene where the Brigadier and Benton (is it Benton? I'll assume it is) are examining the cut-open wire fence following one of the Robot's attacks. It's framed with the Brig on one side, ?Benton on the other, discussing the ripped fence, and a great big hole in the middle where you would expect Pertwee to be. Instead, in the middle of the screen but away in the background, is Tom lounging on the grass checking out the daisies. It's a visual moment that sums up the new Doctor's relationship with UNIT, and with authority in general.
I can forgive Genesis and Revenge a great deal for Elisabeth Sladen in tight-fitting camo pants.
