Synopsis

Gallifrey Lies...

Returning to her original homeworld, Romana finds Gallifrey to be cold and empty... the corridors of the Capitol lie silent and the wastelands are populated only by a handful of primitive monsters.

Her only hope lies with the appearance of a strange young woman: a woman with a masterplan so devious it makes Romana's own masterplans look decidedly not-devious-at-all...

How far would Romana go to save her world? Would she risk the Web of Time? And who is the mysterious stranger watching from the shadows...?

Well this was a banger wasn't it? I knew for years that Juliet Landau played Romana III, what I was not expecting was the girlish almost slightly seductive but still deadly version of Romana. She is very much the villain of the set, though I don't think her aims are villainous outside of opposing the main characters and our Romana. They were several fun nods to classic lines in show history, that somehow felt fun and not forced. This did suffer from the few characters problem, but the interplay between the core four in this episode is just too delicious to ignore. I have no idea where we're going next, but the ever-shifting priorities never fail to make for a sparkling episode.
