City of Death has to be one of my favourite story lines of the classic series. A plot that if closely scrutinised would fall apart but as a watch is intriguing and spanning 3 periods of earth's history. These periods were crucial in the development of human society ,the big bang, Leonardo da Vinci and the crucial period in 1979!
Duggen in a supporting roll is genius and its clear to see that this was expanded on by Douglas Adams for the Dirk Gently novels. "You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs! " was backed up by Duggan smashing a bottle of wine to open it, pure genius.
Baker and Ward dash around Paris in the utmost urgency (almost as if they are trying to evade getting caught for filming without a permit).
But the sets are not too bad and all the actors do a great job at moving the story on.
All in all a great story and a thoroughly enjoyable 2 hours of entertainment
