Kinda was a great story, so it was only right that it was given a follow up, and the whole story of the Mara was revisited.
The question is,would Snakedance be up to scratch? Definitely well named, nothing subtle, you know full well snakes are going to feature. Part one is a decent episode, there is nothing so far to make it particularly stand out.
Martin Clunes is incredibly camp as Lon, not his finest hour. Colette O'Neil on the other hand is very good as his mother, I always enjoyed her measured delivery.
The sets and costumes are patchy, some things look good, some look pretty cheap. It's sadly not the most exciting episode, the most exciting thing is perhaps Nyssa's new outfit. I like the effect used where Tegan is walking along wearing the inhibitor.
The best bit is the build up to the cliffhanger, the fortune teller is great fun, and the conclusion is at least dramatic. 6/10
