Time and the Rani


Hmmm.

I suspect, considering how badly received The Twin Dilemma was, that John Nathan-Turner decided to go in the opposite direction with Sylvester's first story. Instead of making the new Doctor unlikable he makes him a total idiot. Fortunately Sylvester did recover from this (especially after Andrew Cartmell took hold as script editor). And then there's the script that makes no bloody sense whatsoever (even Pip & Jane Baker didn't enjoy writing it). And then there's Bonnie Langford of which the less said the better.

Is there anything good about Time and the Rani? Well, it's well directed, the production standards are high with the first use of CGI in Doctor Who. But otherwise it's not that great.
