Doctor Who: Castrovalva: Part One (1982)
Season 19, Episode 1
5/10
A bit hammy. It would get better.
21 July 2019
Castrovalva it's fair to say wasn't my favourite storyline, I am somewhat biased to being a huge, adoring fan of Tom Baker, but I will judge it being the Peter Davison fan that I am.

The thing I struggle with, is the acting, it feels as though it's a bit hammy, the guards for starters are shocking, and Peter himself just doesn't cut it somehow, he would become a great Doctor, for my humble part, he didn't start off as such. Even Nyssa and Tegan ars a little wooden as characters here.

As an idea Castrovalva is excellent, and the audiobook is amazing, but as a production I don't love it hugely.
