The last of the 2 pt/25 min stories. This is one I remember more for individual bits. The abandoned Kamelion scene, the bit at the end of ep2 about tea, and the famed horse blooper. pic.twitter.com/RjqEDCqLZw

Forgot the crew was here to find Tegan's grandfather. There's a weird time jump from 1646 to 1984 which brings a character (Will Chandler) who reminded me of early Jamie. pic.twitter.com/QS2htA58Mp

I get the impression this would be been better w/ more screen time. The various parts of the story felt a bit rushed to me. It wasn't bad as such, but I felt more background would pic.twitter.com/czFbIHGBqF

help me get it more. The Malus destroys itself (not sure why) when defeated, and the townspeople return to their normal ways. Ep2 ends w/a fun description of tea by the Doctor. pic.twitter.com/C5DILAMq2N

Episode two has one of the funnier bloopers in Who where a horse drawing a cart decides it wants to follow the humans and wrecks a bit of set dressing. That clip is below. :) pic.twitter.com/u4DXh0Mpbm
