"Why can't people be nice to one another, just for a change?", The Doctor, "Full Circle" This is an interesting setup for a story. And the author, Andrew Smith, was only seventeen years old. Nice references to "The Invasion of Time" with callbacks to Leela, Andred and the K9 that was left behind. And then we have the reference to "The Key to Time" season. Romana's negative reaction to being asked to return is touching. And we see her room in the TARDIS. BTW: we've heard those coordinates for Gallifrey before. It was mentioned in "Pyramids of Mars" but it's probably more memorable to me as part of the lie that Missy told the Doctor when she said that Gallifrey had returned to its original coordinates in "Death in Heaven". The concept of the negative coordinates was a JNT idea which is an interesting idea. However, the original name of this planet would have been "Yerfillag" - and that would have just been silly. We've seen Decider Nefred, James Bree, before. He was the Security Chief in the War Games. And it's nice to see George Baker in Doctor Who. I remember him from his role in "I, Claudius". BTW: I'm hoping to see someone do a reaction to that classic BBC series (not a reaction suggestion - it probably wouldn't win any votes) - Sian Phillips is astonishing in it. The people doing maintenance on the ship reminds me a bit of the first episode of "Red Dwarf" - with Rimmer and his clipboard. No studio audience here though - this is serious SF. THE MARSHMEN KNOCKED K9's HEAD OFF!!
