Look, Doctor Who is never going to win any awards for special effects. My verdict. To be honest, I thought it was quite fun. The theme song, by the way, hilariously embraces the kitzchy-ness of 1970's techno-disco. The Invisible enemy is no different. Furthermore, this DVD includes K-9 and Company.
Amongst the excellent focal points of this "episode" are: the introduction of K-9 (who preceded even R2-D2 in the cute robot milieu), Leela at the top of her form, Tom Baker - brilliant as always, and a rather interesting plot involving a microorganism with intelligence. In addition, the fight sequences occasionally leave me in stitches; I'm afraid everyone in the Doctor Who universe is easily felled with a stiff kick to the shins or a slight nudge to the back of the neck. Once one gets past these rather inconsequential shortcomings, however, Doctor who is generally a combination of both acting and teleplay brilliance. A fantastic introduction to the Doctor Who collection of DVD's. As a kid, I always wanted, but was never able to see this quirky chapter in the Doctor Who canon. All in all, Sarah Jane is always fun, K-9's neither over or under-utilized, and the side characters are more than adequate.
