Yes, Season 7 is not one of my faves but it's more the format I dislike than the stories themselves though The Silurians is a colossal bore. Pertwee I found very arrogant in this season. I'm watching Terror Of The Autons at the moment and I see a massive improvement in his Doctor from Season 8 onwards where he was a lot friendlier and less bolshy.
I'm glad you like Inferno, I do like this story and as I said at the top, it's the best of the run for me.

Agree with most of this, Liz certainly grew as a character over the year but I think she was only really off with The Brigadier, she warmed to the Doctor very quickly and by Inferno they are very much a team.
Perhaps because he didn't want to be there either. I liked Liz and wish she continued after Inferno, but then I love Season 7. Inferno is one of my favourite stories of all time but it isn't even my favourite of Season 7 - Spearhead is.
