astudyinawesome: The Fifth Doctor in Black Orchid I could try to say something insightful about Black Orchid and this photoset, but… cricket! Ripping performance, old boy! How happy he looks when he plays cricket! Which is great because he doesn’t get the chance to just be happy very often, poor darling! Cricket jumper! That Pierrot costume that is still in ‘his’ colourscheme and has pockets because where would he put his hands otherwise? Lovely costumes for the other characters! Period interiors! Singing in the bathroom! That gorgeous dressing gown in deep red! Which contrasts so beautifully with the colour of his hair! His worried/confused expressions! The light and shadow in the corridor scenes! Almost everything in this serial is just so pretty! Etc., etc.I would quite happily watch an entire serial of the Fifth Doctor having a nice time, wandering about, playing cricket, drinking tea, eating cake, wearing different costumes, singing, putting his glasses on and taking them off again, examining and tinkering with things, bantering with other characters, being a bit confused, thinking deeply about something, finding the answer and then being happy again. It would be lovely. Who needs a plot? -- source link
