Andy and Martin stutter a bit at 'T' in their alphabetical journey through archive TV, following up last time's Tenko episode with the Christmas finale to the popular series, first shown 35 years ago today. They decide that the Reunion special is not only perfectly crafted, but also a fitting end to Tenko as a whole. Elsewhere, Andy shares his adventures in Singapore: visiting both the Jefferson residence and Dominica and Teddy's plantation house. Meanwhile Martin asks important questions about the narrative's treatment of Chinese characters and the communist pursuit of independence. And he and Andy inevitably also end up discussing the state of democracy as a result. Elsewhere the pair agree that Jill Hyem should have scripted The Five Doctors given her genius for juggling characters and her subtlety.
