Quotes
====================================
"Did you see his clothes? We're in the wrong century." ~ Tegan
"Seventeenth century. Probably of a man being chased by the devil. Must admit I've never seen anything quite like it before." ~ The Fifth Doctor
"Not the way you'd like to celebrate it. I know the old custom of this village. I know what happens to a May Queen at the end of her reign." ~ Jane Hampden
"There's been a confusion in time. Somehow 1984 has become linked with 1643." ~ The Fifth Doctor
"Malus come. Malus's got to war, ain't he? He makes fighting worse. He makes them hate more." ~ Will Chandler
"Oh no! I've escaped from one mad man to find another!" ~ Jane Hampden
"Ah. It seems he intends to kill us. Make for the underground passage. Run!" ~ The 5th Doctor
"The Malus is pure evil. Given enough energy it will destroy not only him, but everything else. Cheer up!" ~ The 5th Doctor
Jane: Doctor, I've had a terrible thought. The last battle in the war games has to be for real!
The 5th Doctor: Precisely. The slaughter will be dreadful.
Jane: You must stop him!
The 5th Doctor: Yes, I know.
Hutchinson: Stop it? Are you mad? You speak treason.
The 5th Doctor: Fluently! Stop the games.
Jane: Well, now that it's gone, was it a beast or a machine?
The 5th Doctor: Oh, a living being, reengineered as an instrument of war and sent here to clear the way for an invasion.
"I'm being bullied, coerced, forced against my will. I've had enough for one day." ~ The 5th Doctor

Trivia
====================================
This was the final story designed by Barry Newbery, one of Verity Lambert's original designers. This was also the last 25-minute per episode two-parter. In the future, all parts of a two part story would be 45 minutes on length.
Unusually, this serial had a certain measure of infamy in Britain for one of its out-takes. In it a horse-drawn carriage was seen to apparently destroy a lychgate. The scene was one of the few Doctor Who out-takes to actually be broadcast on the BBC. It was also seen internally on BBC safety videos as an example of how not to film scenes involving animals.
Compared with his long odyssey to return Tegan to Heathrow Airport in the early 1980s, the Fifth Doctor is apparently much better at landing in her grandfather's village. Part one suggests he got it right on the first go.
