Rather over-extended story (spanning 7 episodes) about Marco Polo encountering the Tardis crew and taking their ‘flying caravan’ as a gift for the Kublai Khan.  This was a really-drawn-out, wordy story, that meandered about for much of its running time, with repeating sections where Marco Polo is writing his journal, as we hear voice-over that sounds like it was lifted from a basic school history primer on Marco Polo. This also wasn’t helped by the fact that the video for these episodes has been lost, and only the audio remains – but was helped by the fact the version I saw had colour photos of the action (or photos that near enough gave an idea of which character was talking etc), and it was fun to see these characters in colour for a change.  Not much fun, as it tries to be worthy and historic, but comes off as stuffy and boring for long stretches.  It is interesting to hear some 1960s phrases/expressions/ways of talking though.

Rating: Bad, 3.5/10
