THE AZTECS

A rare photograph of Richard III during his exile in Mexico. 
Season: 1
Episodes: 4
Broadcast Dates: 23 May-13 June 1964
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: David Whitaker
Writer: John Lucarotti (x2)
Director: John Crockett
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill
(Barbara)

The Plot: Posing as a goddess, Barbara decides to change history because the Aztecs are not nice enough people.
We Like: The fact that, all things considered, the villain is absolutely right and it's the heroes who act innapropriately. And the Doctor's first hint at romance (eat yer heart out, David T.).
We Dislike: Ixta, the incompetent Aztec warrior who acts as Tlotoxl's second-hand man. I mean, Ian defeats him by twisting his goddamn thumb, for crying out loud.
Rating: 5
