Episode 60: Terror of the Vervoids/Ultimate Foe

 

The trial continues...this time with a new companion that the Doctor hasn't met yet.  Yes, defending himself in the court of his peers, an independent Time Lord inquiry, the Doctor unwittingly, yet quite characteristically, incriminates himself, if you will, by showing footage where he accidentally commits genocide. Yikes!

 Yes, this is one podcast with two serials to discuss!  The Ultimate Foe.  The meta arc series where not only is the Doctor on Trail by the Time Lords, but the show itself is being judged by the court of the BBC.  Will cheap shots like bureaucracy wrapped in paperwork in the matrix help John Nathan Turner plead his case that the show must go on?

What do you think about the Trial of a Time Lord series?  What are your thoughts about the existence of the Valeyard?  Since this is the last television experience of the Colin Baker Doctor, what are your thoughts about the era?
