"The very powerful and the very stupid have one thing in common. They don't alter their views to fit the facts. They alter the facts to fit their views. Which can be uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the facts that needs altering."
The Face of Evil is memorable for a couple of things. For me it was the cliffhanger to episode one where the Doctor's face is writ large Mount Rushmore style on the side of a mountain. But it's better known as the first story to feature Leela; a companion unlike any other before or since. Louise Jameson's performance is wonderful and her rapport with Tom Baker is great (it's hard to believe that they weren't getting along at the time).
Aside from that it's a pretty good story. Just over shadowed by The Deadly Assassin on one side and Robots of Death and The Talons of Weng-Chiang on the other.
