Thanks for a great reaction & sorry to hear you're not feeling 100%. I like this story for how odd everything is. That part when they think they're back in Heathrow very much reminds me of a much later Stephen King 2 part made for TV film called The Langoliers as it is based in an airport & has a similar-ish plot. I'm half wondering if Stephen King found inspiration in this story. Don't know whether he's a Doctor Who fan, but I guess stranger things have happened! Good to see The Master back also! Wishing you a speedy recovery & see you next time!

I’m familiar with The Langoliers. Not sure if Stephen King is a Whovian or not. If he is, I could see him drawing inspiration from this story when writing The Langoliers. And even if not, as you say, the stories are similar.

"Time-Flight" known for being that story that Peter Davison hate's the most out of his run. I forget why, though you lot can hopefully fill in the blanks..

According to the episode's entry at the TARDIS data core, Peter Davison thought the story was just fine, but the fact that they had run out of money meant that he knew while they were rehearsing that The final product was "going to look like crap", which he found very frustrating. Janet Fielding, on the DVD commentary, said that she didn't remember how bad it looked until she rewatched it for the commentary. Sarah Sutton said she didn't like this one because she had no idea what was going on.

The Master: "Oh hoh! Doctor. You know, I do believe that habitual disguise upon my part has decidedly become quite a bit of a fetish! There is a certain psychological and physiological gratification to the whole process which is . . . weirdly addictive!"

Yes, I watched it years ago. The similar themes being a desolate airport and to do with Time. I believe it was originally a short story by him called Four Past Midnight.
