Last Classic Who Story you watched

He had a beard ro help disguise him, Later in Terror of the Autons, Carnival of Monsters, numerous Dalek voices, Revenge and Planet of Evil. Apparently played Davros when Donald Burton (Warship) dropped out.

He had left Warship after two seasons (reflecting the tenure of an RN CO), but did one episode in season three, assigned to inspect his old ship. Also in an earlier episode of Softly Softly.(where is is the first candidate the promotion panel reject: Too sleek and full of himself. The last is Barlow: Good, but over-confident).
He has a round head and sleek black hair, so suited for a bald cap and latex.

Time and the Rani

Whacky music - way too loud and intrusive. Good use of a quarry - gotta love that classic who staple location. Mel screams too much. McCoy mixes up too many common sayings. I'm glad they toned it down by the time of Delta and the Bannermen. Still wish they would have kept it in at maybe one per serial.

The killer insects at the leisure dome were kind of stupid - why congregate around something that could release them? I think the story fell apart in the last 2 episodes. Also, why couldn't the Rani make a rocket with a navigation system? Too many plot holes.

Quotes:
"You don't understand regeneration, Mel. It's a lottery, and I've drawn the short plank."
"Yes. And I've become more of a fool too, it seems, Mel. Doesn't bode well for my seventh persona, being so completely taken in by the wretched Rani." [Take that, Morbius Doctor believers! ]

JNT liked Keff McCulloch's music, though few others seem to. Paradise Towers originally had another score, but it was Wheel in Space minimal, and not used. Think it is on the DVD and hence blu-ray.
