For this I will be watching the "Extended VHS" version from the S26 bluray set, as it has 5 mins of extra footage per ep. This is generally regarded by most people as the best pic.twitter.com/zoFTgg93YZ

7th Doctor story. It's darned good. Looks great, written and acted well. It's an annoyance the plug got pulled from the show here as they figured out "good Who" again in 1989. pic.twitter.com/KsKH7LMcQt

Man this is good. The atmosphere is perfect - it's so well done, you just go along with stuff you're not entirely sure why it's happening that you'd normally go WTF about. This pic.twitter.com/nNW4v1ETPS

is another story where the Doctor manipulates Ace. I suspect this would have paid off somewhere in the never made 1990 series. Something about chess sets is a head scratcher. pic.twitter.com/LuNDvPKIUE

Ace seems to have an attraction to the baby, which will pay off nicely in ep4. I got so info the flow of this that I forgot to think of what to write here. Really enjoyed this! pic.twitter.com/Q2xqFMqon7

Ace figures out the Doctor is manipulating people, and gives him a lot of shit about it. She also uses "feminine wiles" to distract guards, a new angle. Great set up for finale. pic.twitter.com/Z8VSWavNwR

Fenric ends as it lived - beautifully. The payoff for chess sets is good, the manipulation of Ace was to her benefit - the baby she loved to turned out to be her mum, who she pic.twitter.com/GaRn7M8qCZ

hated. This story more than any other annoys me we didn't get a Series 27 in 1990. The Doctor breaking Ace's faith was a great scene. Fenric goes with the best #DoctorWho of all time. pic.twitter.com/KLzJ3yCWO3
