This is a story that isn't done often (in Classic Who) - contemporary times for a plot. This revolves around a Concorde Jet & of course time travel. The story takes a lot of grief for pic.twitter.com/JG4Pu1q2Ef

being bad. Has issues, but I always liked it - presumably because of the contemporary stuff. Ep1 mostly takes place around Heathrow Airport. Chuckled at the Tardis being on its side. pic.twitter.com/4XNk1gzKOk

Kalid who is the one behind all the disappearances is shown to have everyone under hypnosis. He's got the crew from the Concordes doing some work, but we don't know what it is. Nyssa pic.twitter.com/YPESe5Ujok

is taken over and it seems there's more at play here than Kalid. There were short cameos from Adric & the Melkur here. Kalid is revealed to be the Master at the cliffhanger. pic.twitter.com/16f7YJhOL4

The Master is found to be stuck in this time zone, and created the way for the Doctor to arrive to help him escape. The rest of this ep is the Concorde passengers trying to break thru pic.twitter.com/zEMBicT2gE

to the sanctum where Nyssa & Tegan were guided to by the Xeraphim. At the time this was new, I was big into the Master, and loved he was back after all this time, so I was into this. pic.twitter.com/PezTIXlACR

I stand by my earlier statement, I know this story has a bad rep, but I really enjoyed it watching here. Multiple Tardii, time travel, The Master. Sure it has some glaring plotholes, pic.twitter.com/tcyiqb1wWw

but I had fun with it. Tegan is left behind at the end of the story, which was done just to mess with the audience as this was the end of Series 19. She was always staying w/the show. pic.twitter.com/NgNsaQPXE5
