Season 26: the final season, until it wasn’t. Much like the previous season Battlefield is not afraid to keep things challenging to follow, serious concentration is required. Thankfully though, this one is a lot of fun - and not just because of Bessie and a long overdue outing for the Brigadier, who gets some well earned hero moments. He will be sincerely missed, I only wish he’d had more stories with McCoy and Alfred - they’re an iconic team.

It’s a runaround, but an enjoyable romp with The Doctor and friends caught in between ancient Arthurian forces who are fighting it out. The dialogue from these otherworldly guest actors is probably the least enjoyable part of the serial - though top marks to The Destroyer’s prosthetic masks which looks straight out of a much more high budget (and more recent) production of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The diversity of this era continues on a strong footing - long gone are the days of all actors onscreen being middle aged white guys and a lone young girl (for the dads).
