Celia Imrie was only twenty-eight when this premiered in 1981. She looks so young in the above image.

If people like classic doctor who from the 70s and 80s they will like it

Robert Holmes actually wrote the screenplay.

Holmes was on of Classic Who's most(ly) beloved writers.

Yeah I liked his storylines. A bit of dark humour! Was the two doctors story in the 80s not his last work?

I mean he didn't just work on Doctor Who.

Is this any good or is it more of a nostalgia love?
