The Rescue 2 - Desperate Measures

The rescue is a small and easily overlooked story but it's a brilliant example of Doctor Who and shows the production team and cast starting to understand what they have and how it works.

"yes, cheer up Vicki." Yes, stop crying you silly little woman, even if one of the few living things Vicki knows has been killed, by Barbara in fact, apparently that shouldn't be anything to be upset about.

The revelation of who Kocquillion actually is is really well handled. David Whittaker did a great job with Vicki's first story, making sure we have a very early example of The Doctor being The Doctor we know and love.

Vicki's first story is great. Next is The Romans, which I've never actually seen.
