66. Carnival of Monsters

The Carnival of Monsters marks the one and only time the Cybermen appear during the whole Jon Pertwee era. For a few seconds, inside the miniscope. Fresh off his triumphant victory over Omega and with the secrets of time travel returned to him, the Doctor and Jo Grant tear off through time and space. Unfortunately they land inside a miniscope, essentially a miniature traveling zoo. We meet the Drashigs for the first time, horrible scary monsters.

For the Doctor's first trip of freedom, it's a rather lackluster adventure. Knowing what's to come for the rest of season, this is the calm before the storm. Considering how many monsters the Doctor's encountered in the past 10 years, the menagerie in the miniscope could have been a little more interesting. Especially in this 10th season, this could have been a monster celebration.

Show people Vorg and Shirma are actually quite amusing and are from the old vaudeville school. Despite it being 1972 and the producer's version of the future, their outfits are HORRIBLE! But they certainly take advantage of the show being color. In some ways though they are mirror versions of the Doctor and Jo and inject some much need humor into the story.
