The Brigadier does what he always does, and attempts to rescue The Doctor, Morgaine sets about getting hold of Excalibur from Ancelyn.
I can understand why some like it, but I think my issue with it is the tone, it's so light and breezy, belonging to an earlier series, what was to come was so superior, this one has always seemed such an oddity.
Jean Marsh continues to stand out, and in so many ways her vast talent is wasted. The subtle flirting scenes between Bambera and Ancelyn are very funny. Mordred is a bit too much of a Mummy's boy .
I quite like The Destroyer, a similar design would be seen in Fenric, but looks effective. The music is grating, particularly during the fight scenes, it doesn't work.
The references to the show's rich history are great, Bessy is back, the mention of the need for Silver bullets.
It's tolerable. 5/10
