94. Image of the Fendahl

The early bird get the worm. Or at least the Fendahl and the Fendahleen. The Doctor and Leela return to modern day England in the home counties to battle an ancient evil that's taking over the place. Mad scientists, German doctors, female possession, skulls with a star in its skull, this show has it all. The pentagram and hooded men makes you think it's another run of the mill demonic possession devil worship story. But there's a Doctor Who twist as usual.

This is one of those early episodes that I remember from childhood as scaring me a bit. The Fendhal were very creepy to me as a kid but I loved it. Great atmosphere, great monster execution. interesting supporting characters, and a good time was had by all.
