Frontios has been without doubt the most bleak classic Doctor Who serial I've watched in quite some time. What's amazed me most, is just how much I've enjoyed it. The dark tone, murky atmosphere, and all round feeling of bleak doom are all carried all the way through to the conclusion.
Another very strong episode for Turlough, it's basically him that holds the key to the whole thing. In general the performances cannot be faulted at all, Lesley Dunlop terrific also.
This fourth part at least has one or two touches of humour, welcome in what is a very dark story. I know the Tractators take some slack, but I quite like them.
A nice lead in to Resurrection of the Daleks.
