Starring Peter Davison (Fifth Doctor) Janet Fielding (Tegan Jovanka) Mark Strickson (Vislor Turlough) Cyril Luckham - White Guardian Valentine Dyall - Black Guardian Keith Barron - Striker Christopher Brown - Marriner Lynda Baron - Wrack Leee John - Mansell James McClure - First Officer Tony Caunter - Jackson Clive Kneller - Collier Written by Barbara Clegg Produced by John Nathan-Turner Directed by Fiona Cumming Synopsis Materialising on an Edwardian sailing yacht, the Doctor and his companions find themselves caught up in a mysterious and deadly race. The prize is enlightenment - the wisdom to find your heart's desire - and it quickly becomes clear that one of the crews will let nothing and no-one stop them claiming victory. As the Black Guardian pressures Turlough to complete his side of their murderous pact, it seems the Doctor may not survive to criss the finish line ... Background In many ways, Enlightenment is a throwback to the historical adventures from the early years of Doctor Who. The richness of period detail creates a sense of studious accuracy which is then repeatedly challenged by the introduction of anachronistic elements as the story unfolds. It is an effective ploy, spinning out the mystery, confounding initial impressions, and delivering the shocking reveal at the end of part one. The Eternals themselves are a fascinating race, creepy and tragic in equal measure. Their place in the universe and their relationship with the Time Lords is skirted around, but the emptiness of an infinite existence echoes the self-inflicted torment of the scientists in Mawdryn Undead, and foreshadows the punchline of The Five Doctors. Turlough's anguish continues unabated, easily securing him the most challenging debut of any companion in Doctor Who. His attempted suicide is shocking (if not entirely convincing), but subsequently glossed-over as his route to team up with the perfidious Wrack. The significance of the event is not lost on the Doctor, however, who spends much of this story as a silent observer. Another incarnation might have secured Turlough's loyalty with impassioned oratory. Instead, he stands mute when the time comes for the boy to make his choice, apparently satisfied that Turlough will do the right thing ... Dramatically, although Enlightenment proves a somewhat unsatisfactory conclusion to the 'Guardian trilogy', it has a grandeur, spectacle and intelligence which mean it has stood the test of time considerably better than other stories of this era.
