THE REIGN OF TERROR

"You can't arrest me! I'm the absolute tyrant of France, hated and feared
throughout the land, everyone despises me and wished I was....oh, right."
Season: 1
Episodes: 6*
Broadcast Dates: 8 August-12 September 1964
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: David Whitaker
Writer: Dennis Spooner
Director: Henric Hirsch
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara)

The Plot: The year is 1794: the Doctor almost dies in a fire, Barbara is romanced and betrayed by a French nobleman, Susan goes in and out of prison and Ian plays James Bond to save another British spy. Oh, and there's a cameo by Napoleon.
We Like: The Doctor posing as a state official for the first time, there's going to be quite a lot of that over the years.
We Dislike: If they had put Napoleon the whole thing through this could have made this much more interesting.
Rating: 2.5

*Episodes 4 and 5 are missing as of July 15, 2014
