In context with the rest of the classics I don't think they looked too bad. It's easy to mock it these days but when you think of budgets they did the best they could and they weren't made for HD, were they?
I'll tell you what though, I'd rather some rubbish home made looking monster than the expensive but even more shoddy looking CGI aliens like we get these days, like Lazarus

I like the Fourth Doctor a lot and I think this was a great performance from him. I can't deny what others have said about his performances getting weaker as time went on but based on this story alone I think he is great.

I have given this story a score of 5/5. I think it has a great, engrossing plot that keeps pulling you in and just gets better as it goes along. Unlike a lot of Tom Baker stories, even the more serious ones, there was a lot less humour in this and I think that really added to the tension. It wasn't missed though and the story didn't feel too heavy or anything. I'd even say, disagreeing with some of the above, that the effects were pretty good. The Wirrn looked like a Blue Peter creation but the technical stuff was pretty good for the era I think.

I agree with the points that it's probably a lot easier to write what you know, but more than that I think that there is probably more of a story in the things that annoy you, especially in a series like this. I think in this story the writer had the chance to have a moan about something that frustrated them but I don't think I would call it particularly 'political'.

Michael Keating who plays Goudry was cast as Vila in Blakes 7 based on his performance in this.
My random fact is that I've never seen that show and have no idea what it's about, though I have been told its awesome and that I should check it out Me either. Wasn't Louise Jameson in that too? I don't think she was. She may have had a guest spot but I'm pretty sure she wasn't a regular.

I think K9 is cute. I don't understand why people find him annoying. From what I know the prop was a nightmare to work with but as a character on the screen I don't see anything wrong with him.
