- 1984
In the conclusion of the two-part story "The Awakening," the citizens of Little Holcombe seem to be taking their reenactment of the English Civil War a bit too seriously -- especially when Tegan (Janet Fielding) is chosen as a human sacrifice. Meanwhile, the Doctor (Peter Davison) tries to purge the community of the evil telekinetic influence of the Malus, with the assistance of a transplanted 17th century lad named Will Chandler (Keith Jayne). Other key players in the proceedings are local squire (and slave-of-the-Malus) Sir George Hutchinson (Dennis Lill) and Tegan's beleagured grandfather, historian Andrew Verney (Frederick Hall). Written by Eric Pringle, "The Awakening, Episode 2" originally aired on January 20, 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
