Every time that RTD starts to piss me off, I remember Eric Saward and feel better. That man would have blown up nuns and poodles if the censors weren't watching.
Five doesn't get a break in any of his episodes, though beyond Saward's splatterpunk sensiblities I suspect it might have had a cynical motivation, i.e. getting Mum and Sis (and the cousin who's not like the other boys) to fantasize about tenderly ministering to the noble good-looking young hero who suffers in silence.
Not that I'd know anything about that. I loved Six.
