| "See, Poppaea, we won't have to deal with Lime Grove Studio D after this." |
Episodes: 4
Broadcast Dates: 16 January-6 February 1965
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: Dennis Spooner
Writer: Dennis Spooner (x2)
Director: Christopher Barry
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara), Maureen O'Brien (Vicki)
The Plot: Rome, AD 64. The Doctor and Vicki becomes unwitting assassins, Ian and Barbara are enslaved. Hilarity ensues.
We Like: The first stab at out and out humor on the show. Though, for the life of me, Ian sold as a galley slave and Barbara sexually harassed by the emperor make for strange laughing matters. It's a Roman thing I suppose.
We Dislike: Maximus Petullion, the lyre player from Corinth whom the Doctor impersonates. I honestly cannot believe for a second that this guy was seriously considered as an Imperial assassin. And by a Christian to boot!
Rating: 3.5
