Original air dates October and November of 1965. Interrupted the story of “Mission Unknown” for a month leaving the viewers to remember the lost tape.
The Doctor trips over Achilles and Hector fighting, and distracts them so Achillies can kill Hector. The Doctor is nonplussed by this.
And off goes the Doctor, the siege of Troy.
Oh my, the actors are chewing the scenery badly. They’re more comfortable with the Greek myths than the science fiction from prior eposides.
Slideshow with subtitles, and I’m not keeping up well. The quality of this copy of the reconstruction is terrible. VHS is the least of the evils it’s been through before it got to me.
Now the Trojans have stolen the TARDIS and left it in the middle of the town square, despite not knowing what it does. All these people are interested in only killing each other. And they think it’s the Trojan Horse and are going to burn it, which should be pointless and will only confuse them.
Vicki emerges before the bonfire, and is renamed to Cressida, because she’s apparently a Toyota.
This Cassandra is vengeful one.
The Doctor has Grand Visions of flying machines, instead of the Trojan Horse. The horse would be simpler. And finally he comes up with it.
Why is it the Trojan Horse not the Grecian Horse?
Aww, Vicki is leaving. And Katarina is a companion I’d never heard of.
