Yeah okay so this is another historical, and actually it's the last pure historical (i.e. story set in the past with no science fiction elements) until the Fifth Doctor's era. Honestly I can't say I'm that fussed to see them go, I just could never get into these that much; this one isn't really an exception, and as with The Smugglers, the fact that it's entirely missing doesn't really help.

Don't get me wrong, I found some things entertaining here. Patrick Troughton had a penchant for disguises and that shows up a few times here, it's very charming. The doctor one was especially entertaining as he used it to mess with his enemies. This is also probably the best story for companion Polly, as she's paired up with a female episodic character and gets a smidge more to do this time around than run around and scream or play secretary to the men.
