The Doctor isn't recovering well from [[Doctor Who/Recap/S21 E6/E06 The Caves of Androzani|his regeneration]], suffering mood swings, arrogance, bad temper, and ''terrible'' dress sense. He suddenly decides Peri is evil and tries to kill her, then one mood swing later is full of remorse and declares his intention to find a deserted asteroid and become a hermit. Peri is not much impressed, particularly since he seems to have decided she has to go and be a hermit too.
 
As luck would have it, however, the deserted asteroid is also a stopping-off point for a group of kidnappers who have just abducted a pair of identical twin geniuses to assist with a sinister plot. It isn't long before the Doctor's rediscovering his enthusiasm for saving the universe from evil telepathic giant slugs.
Line 29:
'''Peri:''' Why ever not?<br />
'''Doctor:''' It had a sort of feckless charm, which simply wasn't me. }}
** It's worth noting that while he didn't like it, [[Doctor Who/Recap/2007 Ci NS Time Crash/Recap|Ten certainly did]].
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Imagine if there were ''two'' Wesley Crushers, and you've pretty much got Romulus and Remus.
* [[It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY"]]: A [[Running Gag]] in this episode is the different ways in which "Lieutenant" is pronounced, with Peri saying "Loo-ten-ant" (the American pronunciation) and the Doctor and Lang saying "Leff-ten-ant" (the British pronunciation).
