120. The Visitation

Burn, baby, burn!

After the experimental last story, we finally get back to some old fashioned alien-invading-historical-Earth story telling. Still trying to get Tegan to Heathrow airport, the TARDIS lands in London 1666 to find an alien race of lizards called the Terileptils trying to destroy the Earth. Adventure ensues.

The TARDIS crew is still bickering with each other. Tegan's still complaining. Adric trips and falls. Nyssa is brilliant as ever. And the Doctor's trying to keep everyone from killing each other. All during an alien invasion. 

The Terileptils are a lovely return to old fashioned monster aliens. Their android is very 1980's with brilliant colors and jewels. Mace is a wonderful guest star for the story. All in all, a nice return to form for a classic Doctor Who story.
