One of my favourite posed publicity images from the Pertwee WHO era- I just wish this scene had actually been in the episode, as our hero, and new companion Sarah Jane Smith, take on the formidable Sontaran warrior Lynx, as played with relish by the late, great Kevin Lindsay, still the only actor to play the race so chillingly, sardonically and effectively, wearing easily the best monster make-up and mask provided by behind the scenes icon John Friedlander.
Launched with a splendid new title sequence, The Time Warrior was a terrific start to the final season of the Third Doctor's five-year run - a great blend of historical and sci-fi (with lots of witty dialogue) from respected writer Robert Holmes, adeptly showcasing both a new enemy and a fine new companion.
