Sorry to anyone reading this, but you won't find any bashing of Peter Davison's opening season finale Time Flight on this site page. Personally, I enjoy it as a kind of Pertwee-esque-tribute/kind-of Earth-based adventure, one that sees our hero locking minds once more with The Master, whose plan to absorb the nucleus of an entire race into the power core of his TARDIS I actually find rather chilling. And I love all the shot-on-film Concorde/Heathrow airport-related location stuff - that craft once the true and majestic crown jewel of the airways during its unique era of skyborne existence. And there's nothing wrong with a good end of season mini-cliffhanger either, one which certainly kept mass audiences intrigued linked to the stranded Tegan. Stretching credibility and soap opera-ish? Who cares!
I was hoping that the BBC Restoration team would have added some all-new digital effects fixes to the story on its Blu-ray box set debut last year - replacing the Concorde stock footage with new material alongside some potential studio bound imagery fixes or cgi matte additions/replacements- the chance to give the whole of Season 19 on Blu-ray an impressive footing. Alas, it was not to be.
