Only really notable thing I can say about this story is that it's got Paul Darrow of Blake's 7 fame in it. Also the Tardis for some reason has seatbelts when it never did before or after. pic.twitter.com/gnQ7yqhdMj

This is one of those stories that is IMO as bad as its reputation. We'll see if this viewing changes anything, but I doubt it. They did do new SFX for 2022 Blu-Ray, but still pretty meh. pic.twitter.com/yJvZ0GKdUp

Ep2 was better than 1, but still meh overall. Although I did like Peri's outfit here, thought it worked well. The new SFX are marginally better than the original, but don't make the story pic.twitter.com/E8Azpk0AFv

any better. It was fun that Herbert was HG Wells. I especially loved the references to 3 & Jo Grant having an untelevised story here, which was followed up in a Sarah Jane Adventures ep. pic.twitter.com/QErULv55gs
