 Certainly! Here is a review of all four parts 
  of "Doctor Who: City of Death" based on the transcripts 
  from the website you provided. I'll evaluate each part 
  in terms of narrative, character development, pacing, 
  and overall impact to rate them out of 10. 
  
 Part One 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana arrive in Paris in 1979 
 for a holiday but soon become involved in a mystery 
 involving time distortions. They encounter a wealthy 
 art collector, Count Scarlioni, and witness a robbery 
 attempt at the Louvre where the Mona Lisa is the target. 
 The Doctor realises that the time distortions are linked 
 to Scarlioni, who is not what he seems. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part One effectively sets the stage with a mix of humour, 
 intrigue, and a strong sense of place. The Paris setting 
 is used well, and the initial mystery of the time distortions 
 draws the viewer in. The introduction of Count Scarlioni 
 as an enigmatic and sophisticated villain is compelling. 
 The chemistry between the Doctor and Romana is charming 
 and engaging, making for an enjoyable start to the story. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Two 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor investigates further, discovering 
 that Scarlioni is actually an alien named Scaroth, 
 the last of the Jagaroth race. Scaroth's ship exploded 
 in prehistoric Earth, causing the time distortions. 
 To finance his time experiments, he plans to steal 
 and sell multiple copies of the Mona Lisa, 
 which he has had painted by Leonardo da Vinci himself. 
 The Doctor and Romana must thwart his plans 
 and prevent catastrophic changes to Earth's history. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Two builds on the mystery and intrigue, 
 revealing Scaroth's true identity and his plans. 
 The plot involving the multiple Mona Lisas is clever 
 and adds an interesting twist. The pacing is good, 
 with a balance of humor, action, and exposition. 
 The Doctor's interactions with Romana 
 and other characters continue to be a highlight, 
 providing both wit and depth to the narrative. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Three 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana travel back in time to meet 
 Leonardo da Vinci and ensure history remains unchanged. 
 Meanwhile, in 1979, Scaroth's henchmen continue their 
 preparations for the theft. The Doctor realises 
 that Scaroth's actions in the past could have 
 devastating consequences for the future. 
 The tension mounts as the stakes are raised, 
 and the Doctor races to stop Scaroth. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Three ramps up the tension and stakes, 
 with the Doctor and Romana's trip to the past 
 adding a fascinating layer to the story. 
 The interplay between different time periods 
 is handled well, and the urgency of the Doctor's 
 mission is palpable. The narrative remains engaging, 
 with strong performances and well-paced action. 
 The episode effectively sets the stage for the climax. 
  
 Rating: 8.5/10 
  
 Part Four 
  
 Summary: 
  
 In the final part, the Doctor and Romana 
 return to 1979 to confront Scaroth and stop his plan. 
 Scaroth attempts to use his time machine to prevent 
 his ship's explosion, which would 
 alter the course of human history. The Doctor, 
 with help from Duggan, manages to sabotage 
 the time machine, ensuring history remains intact. 
 Scaroth is ultimately defeated, and the Doctor 
 and Romana leave Paris, having saved the day. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Four delivers a satisfying and thrilling 
 conclusion to the story. The final confrontation 
 with Scaroth is well-executed, with a mix of action 
 and clever problem-solving. Duggan's character 
 adds a humorous and heroic element to the climax. 
 The resolution ties up the plot threads neatly, 
 and the pacing is brisk and exciting. The episode 
 reinforces the strong chemistry between the Doctor 
 and Romana, ending on a high note. 
  
 Rating: 9/10
