Second story of Doctor Who season 19: Four to Doomsday

Not among my favourites. The Urbankan Monarch has been sampling humans at various points in time over tens of years for nefarious purposes.

Highlights: when the Doctor sets in motion four cultural performances at once as a disraction (Tiwi dancers, Mayan rituals, Chinese lion dancers and Roman swordfights at the same time, which probably did involve some tight choreography. Also the Doctor throwing a cricket ball to change his momentum in space.

Kurkutji and Tegan converse in Tiwi. Why doesn’t the Tardis Translation Matrix handle Tiwi?

Stars Burt Kwouk!

DOCTOR: It’s a cricket ball. A memento. I used to bowl a very good chinaman. (Looks furtively at one of the Chinese fellows.) I took five wickets once for New South Wales.
