The Mutants - Episode 1

It's uncanny how the opening of this story is like an opening from "Monty Python's Flying Circus" with the "It's" Man stumbling towards the camera. Not an auspicious beginning. The idea of the special message box from the Time Lords is interesting. It's also good to see the Doctor travelling in time and space again, even if it's only at the Time Lords' bidding once again. The set of the SkyBase is really dull, and for a future Academy Award winning costume designer, the costumes are pretty crappy too. Good to see Geoffrey Palmer again, haven't seen him since "Doctor Who and the Silurians." Also nice to see Biggs Darklighter from "Star Wars" as Ky. That's kinda neat. Might be another Star Wars person in another episode or so. The cliffhanger is just plain clumsy.
