The Spider in the Web

Despite being billed as one of the main stars. There is again a lack of Patrick Troughton in this episode.

Although when one of the fake clergymen complains about the search for the box. He thinks such a minor item must be frivolous.

Abner Brown takes time to explain the box's importance and where Cole Hawlings fits in. It is no surprise that time travel is involved.

As for Kay Harker, once again the box has come into use for the kids to escape Brown's minions.

That does not stop false messages and such like to distract people. Everyone has to be on their toes.

Another enchanting episode. Some good visual trickery once again and I like the concept of that flying car. Although the special effects budget mean we do not see it take off or land.
