Now this is more like it! A very good episode, especially when you realise this was made before “Alien”. However the alien design was a bit rubbish and Sarah Jane was underused.

“There’s no point in being grown up if you can’t be childish sometimes” – The Doctor

Tom Baker is a delight. The story is a bit rubbish though and the effects are unintentionally hilarious.

What a mess! But a fitting end to Pertwee’s era – my least favourite Doctor so far in this massive marathon of Doctor Who.

Awful, slow, boring!

Dull, slow, bloated with ideas and terribly executed. This one stinks!

Ok so the special effects are terrible, the plot is as mad as a hatter and the Brig *still* has trouble believing the Doctor despite all he’s seen, yet this was one of the most interesting, twisty and exciting serial I’ve seen yet. Sarah-Jane is an excellent companion!

Now this was a very good story – my only complaints are that Cliff is very rude to Jo, and the link between the maggots and BOSS is rather tenuous. But overall a great one!

It’s not a standalone movie. Think of it more as “season 3” compressed into one package. 

As the season finale this was almost perfect. I may not agree with what happened in the end, but it was the right thing for Patrick. 

The scene with Kevin made me sob. I watched it again afterwards and it had the same effect. It’s so moving!
