I'll take a minute to talk about Marco Polo in this.
Obviously, a stately Englishman wouldn't be much like the real Marco polo but the character here is an interesting mix of hero and obstacle. The only reason they're doing this epic journey is because Marco has essentially stolen the TARDIS but he is presented here very much as the hero of the piece and you have his back against Tegana.
It feels, again, very much like an epic. Something which, I wonder if it would lose if it were actually discovered and we saw the 60s sets with two drunk cameramen at the back.
Shite cliffhanger though, I've got a feeling the padding is starting to set in.
