Just finished watching Mawdryn Undead for the first time in over a decade, and now I'm following it up with Terminus. (As an aside, Terminus was actually the first ever Doctor Who story I saw. Holy confusing-out-of-context, Batman

...I think you might be, actually. Do they even have a scene together in Terminus?
(Every time I see Terminus, I keep thinking how much more effective it would be if they'd thrown out Kari and Olvir, and given their parts to Tegan and Turlough respectively... Turlough having memories of his sister, and then having to risk his own life to save Nyssa, even as he's still expected to kill the Doctor, would be wonderfully complex...)
They're hardly ever onscreen together, actually. It's all about the reactions they give when the other is mentioned... especially Nyssa. (I may be swayed also by the slightly suggestive cast photos of the two of them from the time.)
