Rocks, redemption and referendums in episode 35 of I'll Explain Later. Tom Baker does his best to hold his own against unexpressive and rigid screenmates, while the Ogri and Romana I co-star in 1978's The Stones of Blood. The Eleventh Doctor battles wobble boards and has to eat humble pie as a hopeless dad beats off wooden dolls - disturbing pyjama-based chills in 2011's Night Terrors. And a dead-eyed leader believes the ends justify the means when desperately interpreting the will of the people after a pernicious plebiscite. No read-across to the present day, but some brutal and jarring scenes as someone or other seeks Vengeance on Varos. Along the way, Doctor Who tackles urinary etiquette, Matt contemplates a massive library fine and John gets a promise of alcohol via the psychic paper.
