four to doomsday is a funny serial because it’s objectively kinda dull but it’s so SO good at showing us what makes fivey and his friends tick
#doctor who#especially because 5 is out of comission for a lot of Castrovalva#or at least he hasn’t quite settled into his rhythm yet#and 4todoom is an excellent example of how a ‘second ep’ is a vital part of a new doctors initiation#just plonk the doctor and Co down somewhere and see how they react!#we see his designated driver ‘oh shit where’s heathrow’ role#but also his energy and even a bit of mischief#making faces at the security bots and that little smile when he blocks the camera with his hat#and his tetchiness too - ‘ah! you’re spoiling my concentration >:(#I also love that scene where they’re watching the dancing and Tegan is like ‘what are we doing the vibes are off’#but five explains that he needs time to think so just look like you’re enjoying yourself#before cheerfully waving at their hosts#it’s a nice microcosm of how his outward ‘politeness’ is very much a facade#also we get some good scenes to show how team 5 works#nyssa and adric being impressed with the logic vs the doctor and Tegan’s knowledge of earth (and dry humour)#‘how’s your ancient history Tegan?’ ‘like I feel - awful -_-‘ ‘not to worry mines pretty good!’#iTS SO GOOD#I will defend this serial I have so many thoughts#fifth doctor#5th doctor#season 19#Tegan#adric#nyssa#classic who
