The constantly manipulated Governor of the Varos mining/slave colony (Martin Jarvis, always a great WHO guest star) faces the potential death judgement of his people in one of the many memorable and often criticised adult themed moments of darkness in Vengeance on Varos. Interestingly, Philip Martin originally concocted his script for the later stages of the Peter Davison era- it would been very interesting seeing the Fifth Doctor immersed in the troubled realms of Varos, and would perhaps have felt even more atmospheric and believable before the final twist of fate coming for our hero with the tragic events of The Caves of Androzani.
