Day 426: The Seeds of Doom Part 5

Easily one of the best things about The Seeds of Doom is Amelia Ducat. She's an artist who sold a picture once to the villainous Harrison Chase, and is now being used by the World Ecology Bureau to discover more about what Chase is up to. Where she succeeds as a character is in the way in which she has fun with the entire thing. Everything and everyone around her is being deadly serious, but she is content to just treat all of this as a little amusement. This is partially due to the writing from Robert Banks Stewart and Robert Holmes, but also due to the performance of Sylvia Coleridge, who injects such an awful lot of charm into the proceedings. It's an absolute highlight of the story, and perhaps of the series so far, meaning that I can only recommend seeking out her scenes to fully get to know and thoroughly enjoy her character.
