Doctor Who, season 3 continues …

I enjoyed the remaining two episodes of The Gunfighters as much as the previous ones.  Without hamming it up, it’s pretty clear that Hartnell is enjoying himself, Jackie Lane is having fun, and Peter Purves mostly continues to look bewildered by the whole thing (although he seemed to be enjoying himself in the early episodes).

The ending doesn’t much involve the regular cast, unfortunately, but they wouldn’t be involved in a shootout anyway.

The end of the episode is a bit brief, as though something is missing.  We go from the Doctor and co. entering the TARDIS to them having already landed and changed clothes, the whole thing forgotten.

In short, it was a nice change of pace compared to recent stories.

Next time … The Savages
