When I was five years old and I first saw a Chekov episode, I was deeply offended that they gave a character an obviously fake name like "Check-off," until my parents explained it to me. Of course, at the time, I also thought that when they talked about going to "the bridge," it meant there was an actual footbridge that they had to cross to get to the big round room with all the lights and buttons.
The 3rd Doctor and Jo "cameo" was neat.
And Paul Darrow returning the overacting favour to Colin Baker, years after City on the End of the World
(incidently Colin Baker returned to the role of Baban the Butcher for Big Finish a few years back).
I liked Darrow in this. He would have made a good Master.And Paul Darrow returning the overacting favour to Colin Baker, years after City on the End of the World

There was a definite revenge element, Darrow said "He stole my show, so I'm going to steal his." But City is one of the best B7 episodes, and Timelash is generally regarded as the worst of the season.
I just started watching Robots of Death and this is pure Who at its peak, the cast are some heavy hitters also from Uk tv in the 70s.

Robots of Death is utter perfection. And it should be require viewing for learning how to use a microcosm to portray a much larger civilization. It's possibly my favorite Tom Baker story (although ask me on another day and it might Genesis, or Pyramids of Mars, or . . .)
That world has lived on through books and audios but would it still work if the tv series would return to Kaldorian society?
I haven't heard/read those other stories. Did you like them? My only exposure to that society has been through Robots of Death.
