Speaking as a relatively new Doctor Who fan who is only now beginning to broaden his background with the classic episode, having just watched The Mark of the Rani with Colin Baker:
Is it just me, or do the Doctor and the Master come off like a couple of bitter old drag queens insulting each other's outfits over their Cosmos? I was fully expecting Peri to jump in with an, "Oh, snap!" Jeez Louise, the Rani has more testosterone than the two of 'em combined.
And it took me precisely eight seconds into the episode before I wanted to slap Peri. I swear, it's like the rebirth of Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain without the chutzpah.
