I should probably have done a commentary for your amusement, but I wasn't thinking. Oh well. It's a short episode and I encourage you all to watch it.
It has lots of Five running around through dark secret passages and being variously bemused and silly and Doctor-ish. It's actually a petty lulz-y episode, and I think I'm in love with the ending...
I couldn't stop re-watching the ast three minutes. Fivey is so CUTE when he's pathetic.
Tegan "aren't you forgetting something?"
Fivey "Probably, it's not unusual, I've had a very hard day."
Tegan "We came here to see my grandfather. I'd like to visit for a bit."
Turlough "I'd like to stay awhile too."
Random character "you're out-numbered, seven to one."
Fivey (as adorable as I've ever seen him): I'm being bullied, coerced, forced against my will!"
The plot was pretty good and solid too. The only weird bit was when they suddenly decided that one of the characters, a boy named Will, was a real person and not a psychic projection... that was odd... And the monster-of-the-week was a bit dodgy (but isn't tat half the fun?) it was jsut this giant plaster mask thingy with shifty eyes and a fog machine. lol
but overall. goodness.

Fivey does sorta remind me of a puppy that's been kicked around too often. Poor guy.

I always liked this one too - for some reason I've always thought of it as one of my favourite Five stories, even though I've only seen it a couple of times, literally years ago. I could well be disabused of that notion if I saw it again now. Lol. The line about the "brown liquid" at the end stayed with me for years, inexplicably.
I agree about the monster being a bit ropy, but then again, which ones weren't? It's part of the charm. I too am puzzled as to whether Will was supposed to be a "ghost" or "real".
I also seem to remember that the Target novelisation of this was a cracker, even if it did get a bit detailed with all the burning-at-the-stake shenanigans...
