TRIAL
OF A TIME LORD: And it all started so well. The decision to
have not just the Brigadier, Yates, Benton, Jo but the Master as
well in every single story turned proceedings into a predictable
pantomime. Every week the Doctor, bedecked in flowing robes and
satins, would stride off to rescue some peace conference or other,
while the Brigadier choked on rude sounding acronyms (TOMTIT) and
the Master impersonated a janitor. Then suddenly we were off into
space again, watching the Doctor settle major political disputes
across the universe with boring preachy fables about potatoes and
Venus. When the Brigadier grew long hair it was all over.
