"His cousin will arrive at Schiphol Airport tomorrow morning at ten thirty.", Hostel Receptionist, "Arc of Infinity" Tegan's back!! Is it a massive plot coincidence to be involved in a story with the Doctor again? Who cares? I love it! "Peace and quiet is just what the doctor ordered.", The Doctor, "Arc of Infinity" Well, that didn't happen. The Amsterdam locations are great. The Paris locations in "City of Death" were - well, it's Paris, so it's Paris. They used a lot of locations around the Amsterdam and it really makes it visually interesting. Always nice to have a callback to Leela when we visit Gallifrey. But we have yet another different actor playing Borusa! I realise that it wouldn't really be reasonable to get the previous actor back to play the role, but we are racing through Borusa regenerations like anything - faster than Doctor regenerations! And nice to see Michael Gough back playing Hedin. As we recall, he had previously been the original Celestial Toymaker back in 1966. (BTW: I can't wait to get my hands on the new animated release of that.) Michael Gough's got acting credits back into the 1940s and was in lots of British TV. And he later went to on play Alfred in the early "Batman" movies. Elspet Gray (Thalia) doesn't have a big role in this story - but she had a long career stretching back into the 1940s as well. I'm trying to think of something else you would have seen her in - she was in "The Psychiatrist" episode of "Fawlty Towers". She was also in the first season of "Blackadder". "You are extremely privileged, Maxil. It's given to very few to supervise the destruction of a Time Lord.", Castellan, "Arc of Infinity" And Colin Baker(!!!) is bureaucratically intense as Maxil. But, I can't justify the skeletal bird figure - that is certainly not a highlight of the story.

Of course, the big highlight of this one now is Colin Baker making an appearance, becoming the first of so far three Doctor actors who'd previously appeared on the show as another character. Which of course makes the first cliffhanger pretty hilarious as Maxil would have presumably seen the Doctor regenerate into a copy of himself if he'd succeeded in killing Five. He'd been a massive fan since day one, and was such a joy to work with here that the crew quickly tapped him when Davison decided to leave the role. Sadly, his time in the role was such a hard experience that it's amazing he's still willing to talk about it, let alone as cheerfully as he does, but we'll get there.

This Borusa is Leonard Sachs, best known as the host of the variety show The Good Old Days. Peter Davison was deeply questioning of why he'd been chosen.

I'm constantly shocked at how excited I get watching these reactions considering how underwhelming I first found these stories, (or because I just thought Jess would be unimpressed). This story I was waiting for Tegan to turn up, but there was so many other things going on I had forgotten about.
