First, let me tell you this is a highly rejuvenating thing to read after 36 hours of lying in bed, feeling like death. Excellent timing! (further excellent timing: I was just about to cue up the new Sontaran episode; this info might not be necessary for understanding, but I feel like it'd be useful to have)

the Doctor getting tied up, handcuffed, interrogated, Mind Probed, strapped down, tortured, or otherwise abused is a Very Serious Continuing Theme of the Pertwee era.
...a theme, you say, really? *attempts not to look too interested*

And here the episode ends, because Doctor Who doesn't kid around when it comes to cliffhangers. The old series has been known to end its episodes with one or more characters actually hanging off a cliff. No lie.
Sheesh, that is hardcore.

But when all is said and done, this post is really made with..."flashlight tampon." *snort-giggles helplessly*
