I remember this one was, bizarrely, six parts and featured William Russell not as Ian Chesterton.
Hasn’t it got a sports commentator in it too? Ah yes, Jonathan Pearce - a football commentator.
Beyond that, I remember nothing.
The Fifth Doctor early MR stories have just slipped right off my brain because I yet again have no memory of this but an inkling that I didn’t really like it
Yeah, I was not a fan of this one. But then again, it’s a Five & Nyssa story, so it shouldn’t be surprising. Even William Russell can’t save it. I like the idea but dislike the execution.
5/10
The Game sets itself up as a brutal satire of war as sport, but despite a promising first third and a welcome return from William Russell, it ultimately fizzles out. The story lacks the character depth, political sophistication, or narrative momentum needed to turn its clever premise into something memorable. A decent arena concept gives way to dry, drawn-out diplomacy and a naff villain twist, making this one of the more forgettable Fifth Doctor and Nyssa outings. It’s not unlistenable, but it’s hard to care about the final score.
