The use of the game of chess as metaphor is really quite effective. Generally the whole thing feels like a proper travel apic adventure like an H Rider Haggard book.
The second episode is not quite as gripping as the first but is still great television, although it doesn't feel like Doctor Who which is very interesting. But we're talking about a show still finding its feet, and of course these early historicals are generally about arriving, then trying to leave as they can't really change events.
