my favourite part of classic who is in the visitation where five is a massive cunt to everyone the entire time for literally no reason, shouts at nyssa and then has a voice crack so ridiculous it completely undermines any self-importance he was trying to establish

The Visitation ca.1650-1750
Spanish School, late 17th century
Royal Collection Trust
The Visitation is the visit of the Virgin Mary to her aged cousin Elizabeth, as recorded in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 1:39–56). The Virgin, pregnant with the infant Jesus, visits Elizabeth, who is pregnant with Saint John the Baptist. At the sound of Mary’s greeting, the pregnant Elizabeth felt the infant St. John leap in her womb, which, according to later doctrine, signified that he had become sanctified and cleansed of original sin. It is at that moment that the Virgin sings the Magnificat.
The two figures can be told apart by their age, Mary is depicted as a young woman, while Elizabeth appears much older, emphasising the miracle of her pregnancy, which had been interpreted by the angel Gabriel as a sign that 'with God, nothing shall be impossible' (Luke 1:37). In this painting, The Virgin and St Elizabeth are shown with their respective husbands; Joseph, seen behind the Virgin carrying a blooming staff, and the elderly Zechariah, to the right of St Elizabeth.

The only reason Richard Mace didn't become a companion after The Visitation was because he and the Doctor would have become incredibly homoerotic together and they couldn't let that happen in 80s Who
You can't convince me otherwise

The Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary to St. Elizabeth
Feast day: May 31 (New) July 2 (Trad)
And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the infant leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost: And she cried out with a loud voice, and said: Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. And blessed art thou that hast believed, because those things shall be accomplished that were spoken to thee by the Lord. And Mary said:
My soul doth magnify the Lord. And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; and holy is his name. And his mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear him. He hath shewed might in his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of his mercy: As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever. Luke (1:41-55)
