Four to Doomsday

Premise: Arriving on an Urbankan spaceship, containing specimens of humans from throughout time, the Doctor meets Monarch who believes that he can meet a god at the start of time - himself.

Notes: This serial was the first to be recorded for the season despite being the second to be broadcast. This makes it the first recording for Peter Davison (not including a cameo at the end of Logopolis) despite it not being his first full appearance.

Verdict: A visual masterpiece, just a shame the plot's a bit off. Character move from one place to another but generally nothing much comes of it. However, the revelation of the androids is well handled and the Doctor's spacewalk is absolutely stunning 7/10
