The Armageddon factor is bloody awful, exemplifying all that is bad about 1970s six-parters. the rest of the season is magnificent though.
![]() I haven't watched it in ages though. I bought the vids when they were out in the 90s but haven't got the DVDs yet. The end is the only fail, and rather made the whole thing pointless - like the quest was the point but they didn't know what to do once it was done. I like a mix of turning up in to adventures and having a reason to be there for the adventure. |

![]() ) but the 'reveal' where the camera pans away from what thankfully turns out to be a dreadful propaganda piece on TV and we see the wounded and dying in the hospital as bombs reign down is v effective.I like The Shadow, John Woodvine's a good actor, Tom seems pretty engaged throughout and Mary Tamm gives a good last performance as Romana (and never looked more stunning) and the direction is okay, but boooyyy, does it drag! Think it has it's moments, but needed serious trimming and a better conclusion. Shame. Still a favourite season though. |

Armageddon Factor just goes on and on and bloody on. Endless capture/escape stuff. There's a bit with multiple Romanas which felt like padding. I have a real problem with a lot of 70s six-parters, and this is among the worst. Power of Kroll is a bit poor, but at least it's only got four episodes.

I'm happy with The Armageddon Factor, felt at times a bit padded but not a bad end to the season.
