http://nhw.livejournal.com/1060883.html#cutid1[return][return]I may have unconsciously been avoiding this one, given how generally hostile I feel about Eric Saward's impact on the programme. But in fact it is a perfectly decent narrative; good character moments especially for Nyssa and for the actor / highwayman Richard Mace (who is consistently described as "portly" which is at variance with the TV version). Better than I had expected.

Nyssa, Tegan, Adric and the Doctor end up in England, 1666 and prevent an alien from spreading plague. I love this batch of Companions--they interact with the easy, prickly intimacy of siblings. And some of them are actually useful in a crisis!
