"Stand to attention when you're talking to me, and call me sir!"
Crikey, but I didn't really like this one. I always fly off the handle when they have science-y ones, with the astronauts, orbits, probes, radiation and other space stuff. But Doctor Who is science fiction so I should just learn to deal. I had a hard time holding onto the plot because of that.
I'm really not sure how the Doctor could remove the entire console from the TARDIS and put it somewhere else. That must have taken some time and energy. The Doctor never ceases to amaze me.
I'm fairly certain that we've established by now that humankind cannot wander about space, without getting eaten, kidnapped, attacked, or maimed by some alien species.
The Doctor's car has an anti-thief device. That's hilarious. Yes, our Doctor is a very smart guy, but he doesn't need to be a snob about it! Hah!
I'm not sure which is stranger, Heyhoe Launderers or Silcock Bakeries. I think I'll just get my bread at Aunt Millies' house.
The three astronauts have been replaced by three alien forms, but it takes everyone practically years before they figure this out. Of course the Doctor has his suspicions, but he thinks that about everyone.
There was a long scene in which Liz is running from the bad guys. I'm not really sure the purpose of this scene, except to draw out this plotline even longer than it needed to be. No I don't much like her outfits, but those boots are killer.
Someone really needs to show Reegan how to build a solid bomb. I think the Doctor was also supposed to die from the bomb, but it looks like he'd have to be breathing down Taltalian's neck for it to work. One of these days, though, the Doctor is going to run out of luck.
Once the Doctor runs into space to rescue the real astronauts, he is brought to the Ambassadors' space ship. These aliens are holding the three astronauts hostage until the Ambassadors are returned to them. There will be war, unless they are returned. General Carrington is sort of a bad and good guy, and when he had signed the treaty with the aliens several years back, it was with the intention to humiliate the aliens for killing his co-pilot?
Ronald Allen was also in The Dominators. Smooch!
They return the ambassadors, get the human astronauts back and all is well with the world. This sort of thing would have gone awry if the Doctor had been somewhere else in space, like on the Web Planet.
I love that the Brigadier and the Doctor insult each other at every available chance. They really are great together!
I am confused as to why this was occasionally in black and white, and sometimes in color.
