Title: Tired re-run of a Doctor Who classic
Product review: The sequel to 'The Curse of Peladon', the third Doctor and Sarah arrive on the planet of Peladon, some 50 years after the original.Peladon has joined the Galactic Federation, and things are not as King Peladon had envisaged. His daughter, Queen Thalira, in now ruler and she leads her people as the Federation is at war with Galaxy 5. But someone is causing trouble...The main problem is that this story is that it is pretty much a rerun of the earlier story, but not as good. This is more or less a join the dots version of a Doctor Who story, and is therefore sadly not very good. Even the political commentary, this time the miners' strike, is rather more limp that the original.Terrance Dicks does a workman like job, but it is based on such a low basis to start from that there is no real hope.
