"You are sad for the friends you have lost; rejoice for the friend who has been returned to you."
Aw. I'm pleased for John and Carol. At least all that wonderful acting on the spaceship wasn't wasted.
And the Doctor isn't lost, as you can see he's been busy discovering deadly nightshade...
Before he can tell anyone, however, he is attacked and his coat shredded! I suspect the Mandrels....
He is given a new and rather fetching cloak by the Sensorites to replace it. I wonder where they got that from? Never mind, because he is utterly delighted, "Beau Brummell always said I looked better in a cloak!" Glorious.
More of the same in this episode as the poor old Second Elder is bumped off and the City Administrator promoted. Horreurs! There's so much of Peter Glaze in this that it's like Crackerjack in space. Only without the jokes.
"To see all the time is not a good thing." I'm with them on that one.
Just as we're all wondering if we've missed something given the episode title, Carol is grabbed from behind!
Roll on...
Next episode: A Desperate Venture
(There's an echo in here somewhere...)
