He wears a fez in Part 1. Fezzes are cool.

I made up for the lack of new Who this week by watching Silver Nemesis, which is every bit as endearingly bonkers as its synopsis suggests:

"Earth, 1988. While the Doctor and Ace flee from emotionless men wielding futuristic pistols, neo-Nazi Herr de Flores is intent on heralding the Fourth Reich. Meanwhile, the villainous Lady Peinforte uses black magic to propel herself forward from 1638 for a final confrontation with her sworn enemy - the Doctor. And, at the same time, a spacecraft full of Cybermen sets down on Earth. As the Doctor desperately evades multiple enemies, a meteor containing a Gallifreyan super-weapon is hurtling ever nearer to the planet. Whoever controls the Statue will hold the power of life or death over the entire universe..."

They don't make 'em like that any more ;o)

I can't understand why this story gets such a bad write-up in all the fanzines and sites.
I loved it the first watch round and having recently re-watched it, still don't see what the problem is (vulnerability to gold, notwithstanding)

Me too, although admittedly I have a soft spot for the pairing of the Seventh Doctor and Ace. There's a certain section of Who fandom that seems to just rail against anything from the JNT era on principle.

I remember that one! I loved Ace too..such a great role model for an 11 year old girl :D
