Basically a good episode. The idea of a Doctor breaking away from his original companions and going to Rome with Vicki while said companions are getting captured and taken is a really good one. But there is one thing that ruins the whole episode, and it is the treatment of Barbara. From the beginning, we understand that she is the one who does everything in the quartet. But what is unacceptable, even unacceptable, is the scene of quasi-rape on the part of Nero who is a complete idiot, totally obsessed, even rapist. Yes, I destroy him. Barbara's treatment doesn't stop there since at the end of the episode, Ian treats her like a slave, making her work because she accidentally hit him in the face, which started this whole adventure . So I beg you, Doctor Who, tell me that there are not too many other episodes that are sexist to this point. Have a good evening. 3/10
