The Doctor and companion [[Everything
{{tropelist|page=The Holy Terror}}
* [[A God Am I]]: Played with, Frobisher is worshiped as being some sort of an angelic being (All hail the big talking bird!). He is not comfortable with it at all. Also, the King is traditionally worshiped as a living God. This leads to problems, since each King invariably commits the ultimate blasphemy by ''dying.''▼
* [[Bastard Bastard]]: Childeric.
* [[Corrupt Church]]: And how! The High Priesthood has a long history of betraying the true monarch to the evil brother going back to time immemorial.
Line 11 ⟶ 9:
* [[Enfante Terrible]] / [[Reality Warper]]: Childeric is trying to groom one. It works... [[Gone Horribly Right|FAR too well]].
* [[Generation Xerox]]: Invoked. Every generation has the abusive royal parents, a milquetoast heir, a [[Bastard Bastard]] who conspires with the High Priest to overthrow the heir, etc. It's the key to the truth about the place.

* [[The Grotesque]]: Childeric, Pepin's evil brother who plots to overthrow him. {{spoiler|Appears to be the villain of this story, but isn't.}}▼
* [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]]: {{spoiler|Begins the moment The Doctor and Frobisher step out of the TARDIS.}}
* [[Mind Rape]]: {{spoiler|What's actually going on. The entire castle serves as [[Complete Monster|Eugene's]] punishment for the [[Moral Event Horizon|murder of his own infant child.]]}}
▲* [[The Grotesque]]: Childeric, Pepin's evil brother who plots to overthrow him. {{spoiler|Appears to be the villain of this story, but isn't.}}
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: One of the most ridiculous examples. The serial switches from a hilarious parody of stereotypical Shakespearean tragedy and suddenly becomes a {{spoiler|[[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|disturbing examination of destiny as the characters stare inevitable death in the face and a man's fractured mind is slowly torn apart before the Doctor and Frobisher's eyes.]]}}
* [[The Thermidor]]: God-King, bastard brother, corrupt High Priest. Lather, rinse, repeat.
Line 21 ⟶ 20:
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: The [[Enfante Terrible]]'s rampage during the climax, complete with [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel|incredibly disturbing]] ''[[Hell Is That Noise|tearing sound]].''
