Ah, the season that made me decide to stop watching Dr Who - only brought back by the lure of Daleks.
TATR is utter crap, Sylv is rubbish, the music excruciating... You get the idea.
PT is the best/smartest/funniest/cleverest script in *years*.... killed stone fucking dead by casting and production. Except for Clive Merrison, who is brilliant
DATB is a confused mess - lots of good ideas chucked in at random with lots of useless padding (hello Stubby Kaye and friend) chucked in equally randomly to mess it up. Ray is good though.
DF is probably the best of a bad bunch - better casting and tighter direction.
Bonnie Langford is ill-used throughout (she's much better in the audios, where they actually write Mel as the character she's supposed to be, rather than asking her to scream in the key of the musical sting at the end of the episode) and Sylv just *isn't* the Doctor.
I must do one of these rewatches myself... I wonder if sweetheartwhale is up for that...
