Story: Time-Flight
Written By: Peter Grimwade
Length: 4 Episodes
Year: 1982
The Fifth Doctor's first season ends with "Time-Flight", which has the Doctor finally make it back to Heathrow (though he was actually aiming for the Great Exhibition this time), and he is quickly brought in to investigate a missing Concorde jet. The jet has actually ended up in the distant past.
The actual story itself is dull and forgettable, with the most memorable aspect being the wierdo disguise the Master takes on...which is really weird when you realize he has been acting like a real nut when he has no one to see him acting like this weirdo.
The Doctor manages to get everyone home and defeat the Master (surprise!), and then in a rush takes off in the TARDIS leaving Tegan behind. Which would've been fine I guess, had he not just bump right into at the start of the next season.
"Time-Flight" isn't awful, but its average and it isn't particularly memorable. The Master's plan barely makes sense really, and his disguise doesn't make sense when there isn't anyone to see it. Easily skippable really, but I like Davison as the Doctor, so it's worth it just for him.
