The Massacre

So I finally got round to watching (or reading in this case) the next adventure for the Doctor and Steven. Once again, the TARDIS lands in historical France, and Steven gets involved in an intricate murder plot and religious war between the Catholics and the Protestants. Unfortunately, while I assume this serial is quite accurate historically, religion nor any of it's aspects interest me in the slightest, and so I did not find this story very engaging.

The Doctor himself is missed throughout most of the story, and the only thing I found interesting is the introduction of Dodo, a new TARDIS crew member. The girl the Doctor told to stay indoors survived the massacre and now her great granddaughter has joined the TARDIS crew. We are left feeling quite happy after an intense moment of Steven wanting to leave the TARDIS for good.

With two companions in the TARDIS once again, we move onwards to the next great adventure...
