This one is pretty cool. Richard C. White crafts a story that chronologically, is the earliest story in the Doctor's history I have yet encountered. Taking place during the early days of Susan and the Doctor travelling together, this story has little details to reflect that in Susan's character and a very much still working chameleon circuit on the TARDIS. It's a fun period piece set in the German Renaissance during Martin Luthor's trial. A pure historical that largely feels straight out of the First Doctor era and a fun change of pace in an anthology that up until now was largely focused on Rome. The Doctor says "Balderdash." What more can one ask?
Susan's character is also great here. I like how she has the spirit of her show character but gets to be thoughtful and has leads the way in resolving this story's conflict, even if it is somewhat at the cost of the Doctor's character.
