"You can call me Arthur..."
There was me thinking this episode was going to be about Gervase and Julia in the "Wasteland" with Don Henderson and his rough Yorkshire "terrorists", and at first it seems that way. Instead, Arthur turns up almost immediately.
There arev revelations. Brigadier Clark, seen palling with Arthur last episode, is Julia's father. And Mordrin is Arthur's son! Everyone- Gervase's parents included, gets together to plan their next move as Gervase suffers the inner conflict caused by Mordrin's suggestion in his mind, a suggestion he doesn't want to carry out.
The parley between Arthur and Mordrin seems to happen too easily- a dictator allowing himself to be searched for weapons by rebels as Hugo plots a coup behind his back? Yet the cliffhanger is deeply effective, with Gervase seemingly about to kill Arthur.
This continues to be exciting, although parts of the plot are becoming a little shaky in places. Still, we get lots of Patrick Troughton so all is right with the world.
