Colony in Space - Episode 6

Ah, the Doomsday Weapon... I wondered when we'd get around to that. I kinda like the way Ashe sacrificed himself by launching the rocket all by himself, disguising the fact that the rest of the colonists stayed on the planet. I can't help but wonder how different this story might be viewed had the original actress cast in the part of the IMC captain had not been booted from the role by BBC brass because they feared a woman in power was too scary or something. Might have livened things up somewhat. Nice explosion at the cave mouth.

A ho-hum thumbs down. It's not terrible or anything, it just kinda plods along. Malcolm Hulke has done better. It's just ininspired and dull, even after the Master (who usually livens things up) finally arrives. But next we have one of the greatest Doctor Who stories of all time...
