"I do wish Ian wouldn't treat us like Dresden china". Barbara really is quite wonderful isn't she, I haven't really said enough about her. Strong, determined, funny and kind. The world could do with a few more Barbaras in my opinion.
Susan less so really. I can see why Carole Ann Ford decided to leave, she really is just there to scream and be enthusiastic which, given she's a Gallifreyan she could have been so much more.

Terry Nations own characters in this are so awful. Amazing to think this is the guy that would go on to create the amazing rogues gallery that was Blakes 7. At the moment they all just seen to be exposition machines or designed to make you think, "aren't these people nice." Not helped when the old man in this seems to have gone to the Garth Merenghi school of acting of course but there you go.
He does like his little puzzles though and they're quite nice and you can't fault him for being short of ideas.
