This is a solid feature-length opener for Galiffrey. It does everything that you could ask. It establishes the overall situation with Romana being President of Galiffrey and Leela's husband missing presumed dead, putting her position in the city in peril, while also beginning to establish the relationship between the characters.

It also features a crisis on the planet Gryden that threatens to lead to war between the Temporal Powers, a war Romana has to prevent. What we get is a solid combination of political drama and space opera.

Other than an overlong opening, my only complaint with this story is that the story introduced a few too many characters, some of which should have been fleshed out more but weren't. Still, the principal cast is well-written and the piece is well-performed, making for a solid opening.

The Doctor and Ann arrive on the mysterious Fever Island and run into superspy Jason Vane who is investigating strange goings on while scientists celebrate a discovery that alarms the Doctor and is making the island more dangerous.

This story has some very clever surprise turns as well as quite a bit of humor. Tom Baker is at its best and the Doctor makes some very clever moves. Overall, an enjoyable ride.

The Doctor sets out to rescue Evelyn Smythe as Evelyn warns the evil overlord that the Doctor is on his way. It’s a fun story that plays with contrasts and plays the comedy just right. It saves its big surprises for the final minutes.

A decent conclusion to the story began at the end of Part One in, "The False Guardian." Once again we have a lot of revisiting the Daleks' Master Plan but without a whole lot of style. The story does feature a few reveals that come into play later, but this story is a lot more fucnitional than fun. It delivers some key twists but is mostly mediocre.
