City at the Edge of the World

A deal has been struck with Bayban The Berserker, in exchange for much needed crystals, Villa is sent, to open a complex door.

I have always considered this as one of the show's most accomplished episodes, I like the plot, characters and visuals, Boucher did a fine job here, even the title is great.

Nice to see more from Villa, he was a wonderful character, but too often didn't get any of the limelight. Here we see him as brave, confident and capable, I liked this side of Villa very much, I liked the way he flirted with Kerril.

Bayban The Berserker, the most memorable villain after Servalan? I'd argue there's a case for that tag, I thought he was quite wonderful, it's a big and brash performance, but it really does work, it fits the character very well. Not as outrageous as some seem to claim, he clearly enjoyed himself, Darrow would return the favour on Timelash.

Very good acting as always from Valentine Dyal, I always think of him as The Black Guardian, that voice of his was quite something.

9/10.
