Extremely funny plot beat in Arc of Infinity where the Doctor can't easily track down Tegan in Amsterdam because he doesn't have any change for the payphone, so they just have to wander around asking for her at every hostel.
Black Orchid does a great gag where the Doctor and co run up to where they parked the TARDIS and - gasp - it's gone. Oh no, what could've happened, where could-- obviously it's at the nearest police station because you can't just leave that thing sitting around on a train station platform, dumbass. You fool. You clown.
Watched Black Orchid, a fun fluff story set in the 20s with no aliens or anything, just a goofy, outdated melodramatic murder mystery where the Fifth Doctor finally gets to put his cricket outfit to use, before spending the rest of the story in a clown costume, Nyssa has an unexplained doppelgänger, and Tegan gets really excited about dancing the Charleston. I like the Fifth Doctor more and more every story I watch of his.
