    Paradise Towers: Part Three

    Well Mel manages to escape the two cannibal old women. It consists of just screaming and staying seated.

    Pex enter the apartment and then just stands there as one of the old woman throws a knife.

    Mel only survives because of something nasty in the kitchen pipework.

    A slightly better episode as the story ties together somewhat.

    The Doctor manages to unite the Blue and Red Kangs. Kroagnon the Great Architect shows up.

    The Chief Caretaker has obviously been manipulating some of the deaths and mayhem. Only to realise that he has been used.

    Well Mel does manage to find the swimming pool. Although she thinks everything will go swimmingly without checking out what could be in the water.

    Sylvester McCoy still lapses into gurning and pulling funny faces far too much.
