Black Guardian

And they've also got Turlo sticking around, and I don't like Turlo.

I understand his function in the Black Guardian trilogy, but I don't like his character.

I just don't understand why he sticks around.

There would have been a reason.

I think we can all agree that wasn't the high point.

I mean, when you have a Doctor Who story that tells an adventure across two separate time zones, it features the introduction of a new companion, the return of the Black Guardian, and the wonderful return of Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, choosing to illustrate it with a picture of Peter Davison looking bored in the TARDIS... ..is certainly a choice.

Now, to be fair...

This wasn't new.

The doctor gives a scream of horror as he's cast into an endless pit.

Now, Psalm 23 of the Bible goes, "'Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.'" So Bob and Dave have pulled off a dramatic blinder for the climax of Armageddon Factor.

The Black Guardian has enlisted death itself as his agent.

Wow.
