Doctor Who reaches its 100th episode!
The Stones of Blood is probably my favorite story of this Key to Time season. It sees the Doctor and Romana return to Earth for a scary romp in the home counties with killer stone monoliths. But it's the character of Professor Amelia Rumford who steals the show! She is a gem of a character and a great actress. It would have been a joy to see her travel in the TARDIS with the Doctor.
The villainess of the piece, Vivien Fey, is deliciously evil. I see a lot of her in the character that becomes know as the Rani. And it's nice to have a female villain, although this is now the second in a row. Interestingly enough, you get a sense that Vivien might actually be flirting with Romana! And lovely Amelia doesn't seem to have a man around for miles. Curiouser and curiouser!
And again, Romana has two great outfits in this story. From a button down blouse with a nice pair of slacks, a smart cap and open toe heels to a flowy dress with a puffy blouse and boots. Impeccable!
