Our second UNIT Christmas Party in the Treasury, this is a really fun romp. Though everyone came together the year before for a fun party, this time nobody is quite feeling the spirits, and the Doctor and Brigadier find themselves at odds with each other. Meanwhile, a VIP is coming to visit UNIT.

The twist to all this I could see coming as it was being revealed, but it is still good fun. The Doctor has a really touching moment with the VIP and it reminds me of where these characters were and their future together. I don't want to get into spoilers too much, although my recommendations will probably give it away, but it is nice, solid character work we don't often get with the characters in question. It makes sense that Terrance Dicks wrote this as it has a certain sense of authority to it - where the author clearly has a sense of all things Doctor Who.
