nwhyte's review
features the Doctor not as hero but as villain. In "He Jests at Scars...", the Valeyard (played again by Michael Jayston) won the Trial of a Time Lord season, and Mel Bush is sent to investigate by the Time Lords. I was not really satisfied. The most interesting thing about the Doctor is that he is a hero; subtract that, and you can have a character study of evil but it's not as interesting. I have (I believe fortunately) seen none of the Trial of a Time Lord stories, so "He Jests at Scars..." made little sense to me.
