Doctor Who #83: The Android Invasion


Doctor Who: "The Android Invasion," 1975 (the fourth story of six from season thirteen). Alien invaders use android doppelgangers. Directed by Barry Letts. Written by Terry Nation. Starring Tom Baker, Elisabeth Sladen, Milton Johns & Martin Friend.

Concept: 3/4 (Good)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 1/4 (Bad)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Subjective Rating: 4/10 (Eh, 2/4). There are lots of little good ideas here and there, but overall its sloppily and lazily written. It just wouldn't be a Terry Nation script without at least one twisted ankle.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.8/4 (Eh)
