    This serial is far more significant than poeple realize. It acts as the blueprint for how 7th doctor stories were written in the wilderness years, which then went on to impact how certain stories were written in the modern era. For example, there's no human nature / family of blood without curse of fenric.

    McCoy's run is criminally underrated.

    Curse of Fenric is still my No.1 Doctor Who story. It's 100 minutes of slow-burning horror, essentially at the hands of a Lovecraftian Great Elder God (Hastur the Unspeakable). The WW2 setting is fantastic, the one-off monsters and side-characters are awesome, and 7+Ace are in top form throughout - with the simple concept of 'faith' being susprisingly underutilized throughout the show. The only downside is -- Season 26 is most rewarding when you've followed 7+Ace long enough to see her arc unfold. Otherwise, if you jump into the story with no prior knowledge, a lot of the revelation (and Ace's arc) may fall a bit flat. Either way, it's Peak Who! And my top pick from Season 26.

    This is possibly my favourite 7 story. It has so many layers and shows a different side to The Doctor. A darker, manipulative one. Ace is brilliant and the guest cast were a dream. Nicholas Parsons was a revelation! ❤

      Personally, I think they're trying to build up a new arch-villain. If it's an existing villain, then yes, Fenric is a possible candidate, as he's one of the few remaining Elder-God level threats that could worry the Toymaker, but I have a feeling it'll be something completely new.
