Confession time: I don't like 'Revelation of the Daleks'. I feel that 'Vengeance on Varos' is by far the best story from season 22 - imaginative and different, it plays with the television format and just about riffs on its post modern themes. 'Revelation' on the other hand gives the Doctor a passive observer's role and one wonders if his presence is actually a hinderance to the plot. The colourful characters that writer Eric Saward weaves through a storyline of betrayal, dark secrets and intrigue are far more interesting to watch than the Doctor. His multi-coloured coat seems more like a beacon now to remind us he's still there. Which is sad really as by this point I'd grown to like Colin Baker's portrayal.
Ah well, never mind. It'll be back next year anyway... won't it?
