    Very, very good.

    I am occasionally a little critical of a few episodes in the middle of the six part stories, but Frontier in Space doesn't at any point seen to suffer the midway blues, it moves at a really good pace, it continues to build on the story, but there is so much more here.

    The Draconian society is fascinating, and very much one I wish they had explored in the future. I like that The Doctor and Jo are caught up in the conflict, mistrusted by both sides. I like that there is a sense of mystery behind the scenes. Plus at a time where we still had some pretty feeble female characters, I really like the Female President, she is tough, sassy, and dominant, was not always the case with female presidents or leaders at the time.

    There is a little bit of tooing and froing, but that doesn't matter, it's such a rich story. 8/10
