Doctor Who: Toby Hadoke’s Time Travels

It's going to be a long 12 minutes. It is! Because we clock in at an hour and a half. But that's because researcher extraordinaire Richard Bignell has been up to his old tricks of providing us with plenty of VAM. The Doctor and Vaughn are on the run, the Cybermen are out in force, and Don Harper's crashing about the place with a bin lid. But which of these will Toby and/or Ken choose as their favorite things (two this week because there's the bonus of course)? There's even a slim chance of victory. Let the countdown commence.

The Cybermen's Masterplan is underway, and yet you'd hardly know it judging by the number of them that we see this week. There's no panic on the streets of London because everyone's asleep. But there's little footage of the streets of London either. Instead we have a face-off between the Doctor and Vaughan, some speed maths from Zoe and a rather abrupt exit from the episode (and the story really) from Jamie.

Oh this one wakes you up with a slap! Unless you're Jamie, who spends much of this episode asleep. That's not the case for the viewer though, who has plenty of entertainment during this installment, from Cybermen above ground and below it, to Vaughan being quite the bounder and Gregory having to make up for a cancelled film sequence. Let the invasion begin (six weeks after The Invasion, um, began!).

A politician shaped loose end, a tunnel shaped loo's end, and a Cybermen sent round the bend all make this one take place in or around the bowels of London as the Doctor and co finally come face to face with the indomitable Cybermen, who still need a bit of help getting down below.

The second and final missing/animated episode of this story and it may just be treading - and sometimes canoeing - water BUT ... there is that exciting helicopter chase, the reveal of the story's mysterious monster, and ... well, some exclusive insight into the animation which has excited everyone's interest. And as Happy Times and Places always likes to go the extra mile, we're take you to the horse's mouth and hear from James Goss about the trials and tribulations involved in getting Doctor Who's very first animation off the ground all those years ago. Actually, about as long ago now as The Invasion itself was when I first watched it. Gulp.

Thanks to Guest Ken Patterson and also to very special animation correspondent James Goss: worth the price of admission alone.

There are some annoying sound dropouts in this one (never trust a computer bought from International Electromatics) but hopefully they are not too distracting.
