Re: The Monster of Peladon

I too like the Monster of Peladon......one of the better Jon Pertwee eps that Sarah is in. I really love the part where she thinks he is dead and he wakes up and scares the life out of her then admonishes her for being annoyed that she wasted all that worry for nothing. They do have a great relationship and it would have been nice for JP to hang around just a bit longer as it would have been good to have a few more stories with Sarah and that doctor. It seemed like they were just warming up and getting a bit of a rapport when JP left. In the DVD interview for the Planet of Evil, Elisabeth Sladen comments on how, by the time they shot that story, she and Tom had become very comfortable with eachother and that shows in the way Sarah and Doctor interract and respond to eachother. More time with JP would have really added to what was already something good between them.
