Dr. Who: Wait a minute.

This is possibly my favourite performance from Deborah Watling, finally an assistant that is marked by the events of travelling in the TARDIS, you can genuinely see that Victoria is suffering from a level of stress, I loved the scene with Victoria and Jamie, so touching, you get the impression the actors were as close as the characters. Is this the first time a companion questions whether they should be travelling in the TARDIS?
Still a top notch episode, just that the first three just contained so many powerful visual elements, this one wasn't quite up to that standard.
The impeller shaft scenes with van Lutynens and later The Doctor and Jamie I'd like to see most of all, they sound like so much fun.
I love Margaret John, she's well suited to the role, great scene with Megan attempting to reason with Robson.
Very good, 8/10.
