Season15@40. Though in many respects a
conventional mid - 1970s story, `Image of the Fendahl` is home to some
experimentation. Robert Holmes’ final work as script editor suggests a path the
series might take which as it turned out didn’t happen. Instead the story
stands in splendid isolation at the end of the so called `gothic` era of the
show and it’s production values- in the very capable hands of George
Spenton-Foster shine along with Chris Boucher’s intriguing storyful of high
concepts. There are enough brain popping ideas in here for several stories and
Boucher pulls them together for what was also his final contribution to a show
whose appeal he seemed to implicitly understand.
