Castrovalva

Season 19

Serial 1


Review

The first story for the newly regenerated Doctor, although it was the fourth filmed, with Four to Doomsday being the first serial to go before the cameras this season. Castrovalva is the last in a trilogy of stories that started with Tom Baker in The Keeper of Traken, followed by his regeneration at the end of Logopolis, and now post regeneration recuperation in Castrovalva.

I always enjoy this serial. Space-Time stories can be very interesting as this one is. The involvement of the Master in the events of Castrovalva and his comeuppance at the end of the story are also highlights.

Unusually for Doctor Who, there's the intro teaser instead of starting with the opening credits.
