Review of Meglos by thedefinitearticle63

This review contains spoilers!

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: The Thief Who Stole Time


And Season 18 continues with, Meglos. I much prefer this over The Leisure Hive. Again I have to compliment the production, everything from the soundtrack to the effects to the camerawork is some of the best I've seen in Classic Doctor Who so far.

The story itself is fairly good too, the idea of a Doctor-doppelganger causing trouble while the real Doctor is trapped is very fun. Tom Baker's acting as Meglos is also really good, a great demonstration of his range.

Jacqueline Hill is back! Not as Barbara, but as Lexa. A great display of her range aswell because Lexa is basically the polar opposite to the often timid Barbara.

The effects are also brilliant in this, the CSO shots on Zolfa-Thura are some of the best in the show's history.

Overall, very fun, looking forward to the rest of this season.
