The least popular Davison stories.
I'm going to go for Warriors because I genuinely enjoy that one. It's got action, intrigue and the beautiful Tara Ward. It's also very 80s which is a plus. I don't mind Time-Flight either.

All utter drek to be honest. I'll say Terminus has the best premise at least.

Terminus has good direction but I'm afraid I don't like the story much. Arc is the worst, though. At least Warriors is a classic base under siege story with the underrated Sea Devils.

None - all four adventures are dull and dreary but odd bits of Four To Doomsday and Timeflight (particularly Episode 1) are almost watchable. Oh and on a purely shallow level, I quite like the look of Lisa Goddard in Terminus - Space Glam!  |

Sorry Pepsi, I went for Arc. although I was tempted by Warriors too.
I'm not too sure sure why Arc has such a bad rep, sure it's got its minus points like the two twats in Amersterdam who can't act for toffee, the Ergon chicken suit etc, but Gallifrey is better presented than had been previously in Invasion Of Time, the Time Lords are being particularly bastardish again and it's got Michael Gough in it, a far less panto Omega and although the modernisation of his suit isn't particularly fanboy-squeeing it is quite Gigeresque in it's design and episode 4 is a sheer delight.
Worst ones out the choices available are probably Four to Doomsday which bores me to death and Terminus is mighty dull too(bar episode 1), but at least has some quite good designs in it.

Terminus is far superior to all of those. I still don't understand its poor reputation.

Also, a lot of the dark claustropic suspense built up in episode 1 and 2 is spunked away by episode 3 by a giant mouse and "Centre of the end of the Universe" hyperbowl. Full marks for Davisons delivery of "It's Nyssas skirt! There's blood on it!" without cracking a smile however. |

The problem with Terminus is that it is sandwiched between two classics. Mawdryn was fast and nostalgic while Enlightenment was mysteriously beautiful in its design and structure. On the other hand, Terminus is dreary and it doesn't help that the music is shockingly awful. The part one cliffhanger is hilarious, though. "We're all going to diiiiiieeeeee!"

Episode 1 is quite good and intriguing, but I find by episode 3 it has too many cooks spoiling the broth. The giant mouse is bloody stupid looking, "Oh no it's the end of the universe!" "I know, we'll ask the giant mouse to pull a lever to save us!" The fight sequences are extremely poorly choreographed too. It's like sychronised underwater swimming. |
