Season 7 @50. Meg Seeley is not be trifled with. While
earlier in this episode Ransome runs in total terror from an Auton, Meg’s
reaction to our plastic pal’s incursion is to reach for her shotgun and let
loose both barrels. Never mind UNIT, they should send her down to Auto Plastics
to sort the situation out. Even the Auton, which happily fired at Ransome,
doesn’t kill Meg on the spot as it could easily do but seems to just knock her
over. On the upside, her husband’s light fingered tendencies mean their cottage
will soon have a full stock of replacement items for all the damaged furniture.
A curious collection of scenes, episode 3 confirms the story’s slender
narrative has room to spare as you realise that most of the well remembered
moments are actually in the other episodes.
