9/10
It's just wonderful in every aspect.

This is the best episode of this great serial to date, and that's all due to the brilliance of The Draconians. They're not fighters, they don't have inbuilt lasers or super powers, but they have a society, a culture and order unique to Doctor Who. I've said it before but it is such a pity that they didn't return. The scenes inside The Draconian courtroom were terrific, I loved John Woodnutt.

Sadly we get one or two wobbly sets, but who cares, those Ogrons are strong. Some very funny scenes, The Doctor's response to The Master's pleas to The Draconian President are very funny.

I must mention the performance of Katy Manning, never my favourite companion to begin with, in this I think she is terrific, her highest point. Scenes between her and Delgado were terrific. 9/10
