The TARDIS crew lands in the Himalayas of Cathay in 1289, their ship badly damaged, and are picked up by Marco Polo's caravan on its way along the fabled Silk Road to see the Emperor Kublai Khan. The story concerns the Doctor and his companions' attempts to thwart the machinations of Tegana, who attempts to sabotage the caravan along its travels through the Pamir Plateau and across the treacherous Gobi Desert, and ultimately to assassinate Kublai Khan in Peking, at the height of his imperial power.

Directed by Waris Hussein and John Crockett

Doctor Who: Marco Polo

This wasn’t bad, I did fall asleep tho. I love ping cho and Marco was serving the entire time (except for the spandex). Glad that’s the second longest ep done for my current watch.

Also I now see why people want this found so bad, it looks so good (minus the yellowface) with the colour restoration work

Would have been cool to see the actual cut. But the film stills add a layer of interpretation which is cool.
