Invasion of the dinosaurs is by far the weakest but still better than anything seen in the last three seasons of nu who.

IOTD I love even more ever time I watch it. Give it 4 months and revisit Rob, I promise results in this area. Sod the FX being "poor", it's a gripping series and of course .... Peter Miles. An essential part of Pertwee's era (at the bitter end etc).
AHEM.
As you were ...........

Yeah it's my 2nd fave of the season after Time Warrior.
