I've heard the Third Doctor referred to as the James Bond Doctor, but here we have the Second Doctor playing in that genre first.

A well paced story that makes you forget that the Doctor isn't actually involved all that much. The main focus is Troughton's second role as the villainous Salamander. He's fantastic and offers a great display of his range as an actor considering how Salamander is the opposite of the Doctor in almost every conceivable way. The supporting cast are equally strong with a personal favourite being the hilarious misanthropic cook Griffin, and highlights how giving supporting characters time to breathe is really one of the strengths of classic Who. The story also predicts both issues around climate change and rising authoritarian leadership fuelled by disinformation in 21st century Europe, making it a very relevant watch in 2024!
