The Time Monster - Episode 1

We're back on familiar territory now, as the Master returns.  And the Brigadier and UNIT are back, for the first time since "Day of the Daleks" a while back.  Strange to think that they only appeared in the first and last stories of this season.  Nice to see them back.  TOMTIT is a ridiculous name, and it's hard not to laugh when everyone keeps spouting "TOMTIT" every few minutes.  Roger Delgado gives another great performance, this time with a Greek accent to fit with his Professor Thascales persona.  Odd to think that the young bloke playing Stuart eventually becomes the gravelly-voiced Omega in the 80's and the recent Big Finish audio.  Jo shows some great legs, with her miniskirt and knee-high boots, very nice.  I like the effect of the clock tower chiming slowing down due to the effects of the TOMTIT procedure.  Hmm, look at that, I've been able to write more about one episode of "The Time Monster" than I was able to write about the whole of "The Mutants"!  OK, so maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but still...
