Ahhh, The Trial of the Timelord series is one of my all time favs.
Colin Baker was a refreshing change from Davison, at the time, I couldn't
wait for him to go, then he got Perry, that kept me happy for a few eps, C.
Baker's first show was amazing, I don't think there's many show's where the
"Doc" was trying to do away with his companion.
