A FIX FOR A SONTARAN!


Sontaran warrior Styke gets more than he bargained for when the Kartz-Reimer time module capsule goes bezerk on him, a result of the Doctor's unique sabotage, in this memorable and very messy moment (a staple fate for a fair few monsters during Who's eighties era) from The Two Doctors.

A REGENERATION FAILING?


We've normally had post regeneration stories where, after the first episode or two, the new Doctor had settled into his new regeneration. Not so with Season Nineteen's new era opener Castrovala, however, whose whole four episodes saw the Time Lord suffering from trauma and a personality still in shape. Filmed fourth in production order to give Davison prior time to establish himself in the role, Christopher H. Bidmead's imaginative tale is an excellent sequel continuation from the doom laden affairs of Logopolis, with another splendid civilization effectively established in the series, even if it is all one big trap!
