Assignment Three: Part 6

Warning: Spoilers
Steel grabs the bull by the horns in this episode. He is not messing around, he manhandles Rothwyn, throttles Sapphire and nearly kills the baby.

Steel realises that something has gone with the travellers from the future. They even got the names wrong for the time period they are in.

Their future has dictated their predicament. A future where animal kingdom was not required and what was left were regarded as parts. Something for scientists to deal with.

There were some heart stopping moments as Steel raises a knife at a creature in a baby cot.

The realisation of the animal creature was what would had been expected of Doctor Who in the mid 1970s. I think the makers did succeed well in the casting of the couple. There was just something odd about them, like they never quite fitted in.

The reasoning as to the big bad was harder to comprehend than the darkness of time concept of the earlier stories. What the story did provide was Silver who was brilliant.
