The lighthouse on Fang Rock suddenly gets covered in thick fog, The Doctor and Leela arrive, but so does something else.
I've been reviewing Series 15 out of sequence, I think it's fair to say it is very patchy, definitely hit or miss. Horror of Fang Rock begins in some style, you could be forgiven for thinking this belonged to Philip Hinchcliffe's previous and final series. Fang Rock along with Image of the Fendahl retained the horror vibe that viewers had been accustomed to over the years.
Everything is on point, the story, the vibe, and of course the tremendous production values, The BBC did costume dramas like no other, fantastic sets and costumes, it looks fantastic. The trio of lighthouse hands are great. Tom is excellent, it's a very subtle performance, very measured, Jameson as always, terrific.
You can't fault it at all, a wonderful start. 10/10
