189: Castrovalva
CASTROVALVA
(1982, Fifth Doctor, Nyssa, Tegan & Adric, Doctor Who TV)
This isn’t a big enough bang for a new Doctor, the
threat of the Big Bang isn’t realised well, it’s slightly boring. But there’s a
great surprise reveal, memorable moments, a good performance from Peter Davison
(unusually), great locations, and fab music. And the idea of recursion
(Castrovalva) is perfect. 5/10. 50
words.
