Day 359: The Time Warrior Part 4

Now the time has come to talk of the real highlight of The Time Warrior: Professor Rubeish. For the uninitiated, Professor Rubeish is a scientist who gets captured by Linx and hypnotised to work for him. Unfortunately, the hypnotism fails due to Rubeish being incredibly blind as a bat without his glasses, and so Rubeish is just left wandering about the place. What makes him so brilliant is the way in which he is characterised, as he takes everything in his stride not realising the full predicament that he is in. He's not terribly bright in this regard, although this does make him surprisingly reliable as he wanders about doing what is right without fully comprehending it. He's just an incredibly fun character, and is the heart of what Doctor Who is: having fun through time and space. You wouldn't necessarily expect too much darkness in the series, instead you are just allowed to have fun with Professor Rubeish.
