The Seventh Doctor investigates problems on Valhalla. Termites are involved. Michelle Gomez turns in a great performance, pre-Missy. The Doctor is all over the place, in the best way; the story could have been pared down with no harm done. Doctor for sale. Excellent condition.

When Marc Platt is good, he is very very good; but when he is not, he is boring, and I'm afraid Valhalla is in the latter category. I don't know why it dragged - indeed, maybe it doesn't, and I was just in a bad mood; but even Susannah York as the queen of the giant termites infesting the doomed human colony on Callisto didn't really lift it for me.
