Doctor Who 141 Timelash Written by Glen McCoy and directed by Pennant Roberts. Two episode story that aired March 9 to 16 1985.
Fairly typical story with the Doctor rescuing some oppressed people. I'm finding the Doctor more and more annoying, same with Peri. HG Wells shows up in the story and he was annoying as all get out. The story is thought to be one of the worst of the series. I'm not thinking their wrong.
Doctor Who 142 Revelation Of The Daleks Two episode story that aired March 23 to 30 1985. Written by Eric Saward and directed by Graeme Harper.
Davros makes another appearance, he;s lured the Doctor to Necros, a burial planet, where Davros is using the dead to make his version of soylent green. Alexi Sayle is one of the guest stars, he plays a really annoying DJ. He was so awful sounding I speed through his scenes. The Doctor and Peri are at their most annoying in this episode. Sward is both writer and script editor, he seems to be working to take the fun out of the series. I found it one of the worst of the series.
Poor scripts and plenty of violence put the show on hiatus until September 1986 when it returned with a 14 episode story called The Trial Of A Time Lord. I plan to watch the whole thing next week. Lucky for me there's only 4 series left and the number of episodes that air each series will drop.
