Welcome to the Savage Garden! A new era begins as the 4th Doctor meets Leela, warrior of the Sevateem tribe. Dressed in shamy leather and armed with knives and poisonous Janus thorns, Leela is a complete opposite to our dear Sarah Jane Smith. Possessing a killer instinct but a simple intellect, the Doctor seemingly becomes a mentor to teach the savage the way of the universe. And fun ensues.
The antagonist of the story is none other than the Doctor, or at least an imprint of his psyche. Apparently at some point since his regeneration, the Doctor popped of planet, met this computer, imprinted his brain on it, and created a megalomaniac. Of course it's never clearly stated when this happened for the Doctor although it's assumed it was immediately after his regeneration when his brain was a few eggs short of a dozen.
The Face of Evil does present an interesting situation of changes that occur generationally. How the Survey Team becomes the Sevateem and the Technicians become the Tesh along with the mental and physical differences that occur. Good start to a new chapter in Doctor Who.
