Pretty good how it looks at the Sixth Doctor’s relationship with Peri and then Mel.
With Peri it is noted how they always bicker but they can’t be without each other and that is an example of what bickering is about.
When talking about Mel it showed a clip from her first story Terror of the Vervoids in which she gives the Doctor carrot juice. I know that Bonnie Langford (Mel) is a fitness freak herself but I don’t know whether I should be surprised that she herself does not like carrot juice.
Perhaps I shouldn’t be surprised that Dan Starkey (who played Sontarans in the “new” series including of course Strax) turned up here when talking about the Sontarans who had appeared with the Sixth Doctor as well as the Second in The Two Doctors. It was certainly quite noticeable how tall the Sontarans were in The Two Doctors.
It was also very good when the episode talked about Sil and how effective he was at being a foe even though as Colin Baker pointed out that Sil wasn’t really a villain as such.
The episode played out well when it showed Peri had supposedly died in Mindwarp (depending on one’s point of view) including Marcus Wilson saying how it made the Sixth Doctor having the resolve to stand up to the Time Lords in The Trial of a Time Lord.
