Marco Polo 6 - Mighty Kublai Khan

So Marco Polo is the first historical figure to know what the TARDIS actually does. Well, be told at least.

He really is an interesting character though. I'm not sure what he was expecting but seems really disappointed when he's lied to. Despite the fact that he's holding them prisoner. As if he expects them to just put up politely.

Even Ping-Cho is fed up enough to want to do a runner. Fear of the old cock, clearly, the penis that looks like a discarded sleeping bag.

The actor who plays Marco Polo really carries this as well. While I can't see him physically his vocal delivery really is wonderful. More wonderful than the Khan's trumpeter, that's for sure.

I love the banter between The Doctor and the Khan. Grumpy bastards R'us.
