Second story of Doctor Who season 19: Four to Doomsday

Not among my favourites. The Urbankan Monarch has been sampling humans at various points in time over tens of years for nefarious purposes.

Highlights: when the Doctor sets in motion four cultural performances at once as a disraction (Tiwi dancers, Mayan rituals, Chinese lion dancers and Roman swordfights at the same time, which probably did involve some tight choreography. Also the Doctor throwing a cricket ball to change his momentum in space.

Kurkutji and Tegan converse in Tiwi. Why doesn’t the Tardis Translation Matrix handle Tiwi?

Stars Burt Kwouk!

DOCTOR: It’s a cricket ball. A memento. I used to bowl a very good chinaman. (Looks furtively at one of the Chinese fellows.) I took five wickets once for New South Wales.

Don’t recall that one. I missed quite a few of the Davison stories, such was my initial disgust at the choice of the vet.

They were reasonable.
The episodes with the Daleks was decent where they dug up Davros
