"Gentlemen, may I remind you this is a court of law, not a debating society for maladjusted, psychotic sociopaths.", The Inquisitor, "Mindwarp" It's a fun idea to have several stories within the Trial arc interleaved with the various courtroom interruptions. "Peri, a Warlord of Thordon wouldn't use his dying words to lie to us. Remember what he said? Thoros Beta, send more beams that kill.", The Doctor, "Mindwarp" I like the "in media res" idea that we've been dropped into an existing adventure - The Doctor and Yaz hanging from Karvanista's gravity bar at the start of "The Halloween Apocalypse" springs to mind as another case. "Old? He is young for a man of science. Perhaps you should describe Crozier for me.", Frax, "Mindwarp" Frax, the servant of the Mentors, was played by Trevor Laird. We've seen him in New Who - he was Martha Jones's father in Series 3. "Doctor and, ah yes, your revoltingly ugly assistant. Age has not improved you since Varos.", Sil, "Mindwarp" It's the same writer as of "Vengeance on Varos" so he brings back Sil - much to sesskasays' obvious "delight". "That should keep you in marsh minnows for a while, Sil.", Kiv, "Mindwarp" Lord Kiv is played by Christopher Ryan. Later, Christopher would play the lead Sontaran in the "The Sontaran Stratagem" / "The Poison Sky" two-parter - so he is another Classic/New Who alumnus. BTW: He was also in "The Young Ones" TV series - along with Alexei Sayle, the D.J. from the previous season. "On my planet of Krontep, a warrior queen fights alongside her king.", "We're not on your planet.", "It doesn't matter, the rule still applies.", King Yrcanos and Peri, "Mindwarp" King Yrcanos is played by the wonderful, larger-than-life Brian Blessed. He's been in so much, but I suppose he is best known for his part as Emperor Augustus in "I, Claudius" - along with lots of other Who actors like Derek Jacobi, John Hurt, and Siân Phillips. Siân Phillips played one of the locals at the pub in "73 Yards". Brian Blessed was also in the "Flash Gordon" playing, well, playing a character in a very similar manner to King Yrcanos. Oh, and he was King Richard in the first season of Blackadder - the same character again. Go, Brian - three characters, one performance, three paychecks! "I have a special death reserved for him. He's a traitor known as the Doctor.", King Yrcanos, "Mindwarp"
