Pair o’ Docs (Devouring “The Two Doctors”)

When more than one Doctor is present, you know something’s gone disastrously wrong. While that usually applies to something within the show, in the case of The Two Doctors, you might be talking about the show itself. In some ways, it’s not the story’s fault — the production was famously plagued with problems behind the scenes — but a misfired location shoot can’t explain away the script’s icky obsession with carnivorism or those utterly extraneous Sontarans. At least we can all agree that we’d watch Patrick Troughton do anything, including wolf down an insanely huge meal in a top hat… just as long as he didn’t do it wearing bright red eyebrows.
