The Curse of Peladon - Episode 1

The Son of Doctor Who! No, wait, it's the Roommate of Doctor Who! Yes, David Troughton, son of Second Doctor Patrick Troughton and former roommate of Sixth Doctor Colin Baker, guest stars as King Peladon. It's just too bad he seems like such a wuss. The exterior scenes of the Doctor and Jo in the storm on the mountainside are really well done, as is the fall of the TARDIS. The interior scenes, like in the tunnel, are less effective. The setup of the Peladon community is basic, but it does the job. The Ice Warriors return, too! Nice to see them in color, it's been a while since their last appearance in "The Seeds of Death" with Patrick. Watch out for the falling statue, Doctor!
