The Plot: The TARDIS lands on planet Dido and the travellers come to the help of a young girl and a genocidal maniac.
We Like: For once,the man-in-a-monster-costume is actually a man in a monster costume. Barbara killing a monster who turns out to be no monster at all. The ghostly Didonians exacting off-screen revenge on Bennett.
We Dislike: Was Bennett's subterfuge really that clever, considering its the rather smart Vicki he's dealing with here?
