The wise Doctor is apparently agreeable to a fool's bargain with a con artist and a rake. |
Episodes: 4*
Broadcast Dates: 16 October-6 November 1965

Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Maureen O'Brien (Vicki), Peter Purves (Steven)

The Plot: In his definite version of the Iliad, Homer seems to have completely forgotten the Doctor's involvment with that Trojan Horse bit.
We Like: Another comedy episode, this time replacing farce with satire. Cotton should have written more.
We Dislike: And yet another comedy episode that ends in tragedy. Doctor Who has very strange ideas about what constitutes funny, apparently.
Rating: 3.5
