Rating: - Vintage Pertwee
Yes, this is a fantastic serial. I actually enjoyed it more than 'Terror of the Autons' or 'Day of the Daleks'. IMO the only real clunker of Jon Pertwee's final season was 'Monster of Peladon'.

The dinosaur's are obviously fake like many of the old creatures and like much of modern day CGI work. That doesn't get in the way of the story or action; and personally I think they are more effective in colour than and black and white.

Hopefully soon the first episode will be ... Read More

Rating: - Not Pertwee's best
Jon Pertwee's final season as The Doctor, is regarded by many fans as the weakest of his 5 year run. The production team seemed reluctant to write out UNIT, whereby The Doctor worked as an advisor to the army, a format which by this stage had really runs its course. They also seemingly ran out of good story ideas, and none of the stories which made up season 11, can in retrospect be regarded as out and out classics. Invasion of the Dinosaurs is one of Pertwee's least sucessful stories, a factor apparant ... Read More

Rating: - Reclaim the least popular stories!
It's time to reclaim some of the least popular stories and realise that it is okay for the FX to be terrible, it really is the acting and writing that matters and this is a great example, a totally wonderful and enjoyable slice of Who which has glove puppet Dinosuaurs. I say love those cute little plastic puppets and enjoy it for what it is, Dr.Who!!! Dr.Who was always part pantomime as well as part detective thriller, horror movie, shakespearean drama, etc, So take it for what it is and just relish the ... Read More

Rating: - Great story, ignore the special effects
Malcolm Hulke, the writer of this story, was one of the best writers in Doctor Who's long history. His knack of combining god plots with a degree characterisation several shades above the normal 2D ciphers featured in of a lot of Doctor Who episodes, usually made for highly entertaining stories.

I believe Invasion of the Dinosaurs was his last contribution to the show before his untimely death. If you ignore the dodgy special effects (this WAS made 30 years ago on a shoestring BBC budget) and ... Read More

Rating: - Doctor Who and The Invasion Of The Dinorsaurs
I found myself wishing, while watching this, that they'd released the whole story in black and white because it adds something to the first atmospheric shots of a deserted London and also hides the worst CSO since The Claws Of Axos. I know it shouldn't be allowed to detract from the story and also that we shouldn't be too hard on an effects team working pre CGI but in all of the colour episodes you can see that the monsters are models filmed seperately and for the most part then projected onto a film screen ...
