Doctor Who [Season 3], sexism
The actor for Steven hated this story, because it had been originally written for the companions Ian and Barbara, and when it was rewritten for this season, Steven's lines were mostly barbara's.
He felt upset that his character had been "feminised".
Doctor Who [Season 3]
The Myth Makers was a weird one - the story is a farce, the way they depict the trojans is a farce, the way they make Vicki fall in love with a random dude and run off with him is also a farce.
And yet it very clearly wasn't intended to be that. It's just garbage.
The third story to get a "Don't Watch" recommendation.
Doctor Who [Season 3]
so this story had a teaser episode earlier in the season - they cut away from the doctor and companions for a bit to show the daleks organising a meeting between a bunch of villans from across the universe.
Except between the teaser/cutaway and the actual episode, the actors for several of the villains in-explicably changed, so it's very confusing
