The War Games - Episode 1

And so it begins. The 10-part final Troughton story commences with some great location work, and the reflection of the TARDIS materializing is a nice different touch. Good atmosphere, the feel of the WWI surroundings works really well. Major Barrington looks very much like Blackadder from "Blackadder Goes Forth", also set in the trenches of WWI. General Smythe is evil, and the mystery of his futuristic contraption, his mind control, and his disappearances is well-handled. Good cliffhanger, as the Doctor appears to be shot by firing squad for espionage.
