  • Lightweight yarn, generally below average but watchable

    I saw this story on its original broadcast in 1987. I have watched it a few times over the past 33 years. For much of that time it remained unchallenged as the worst story I had ever seen (I nearly stopped watching the series in 1987 because of it). Time has been slightly kind to it but a lot of the elements I didn't like still remain - Ken Dodd adds nothing to the story; various members of the guest cast either mark time in their roles or give it 110% (ie overdo it); the alien birth (which reminded me of V at the time) works better than it did on V but still fails to impress; the life cycle of the princess does not work for me; Billy's transformation doesn't work. There are some good elements though - episode 2 is the best of the three and is slightly more watchable. Sylvester McCoy is much more settled in the role and there are hints of his darker Doctor which give a bit more punch to this otherwise lightweight story. Mel didn't appeal to me in 1987 and still doesn't in 2020. Its not the fault of Bonnie Langford, who made the best of her time on Dr Who, but a screamer was no good in 1987 and more so now. It is obvious that Ray is being groomed as a possible new companion and she does work better than Mel. The DVD carries some interesting features, as with the vast majority of Dr Who DVD and blu-ray releases. The video playback and the sound are of excellent quality. Its not a story I would ever recommend but it has its place and I would not wish it destroyed in order for some cosmic balance to restore 3 missing episodes. I think....

  • Not one of the best

    Well, I like Doctor Who, but this adventure is one of the weaker efforts. Sylvester McCoy as The Doctor seems uneasy in the role (he's much more comfortable in the role in the next season) and there's no real logic to the other characters.

  • Direct and to thepoint.

    Entertaining story made better by a funny cameo from Ken Dodd. Fairly good 1950's atmosphere as a backdrop and Sylvester MCcoy's Doctor is engaging and an improvement on his unfortunate predecessor. The Bannermen are enjoyable villains and Delta a credible heroine.
