For a two parter, this little serial is excellent. Not just because the serial features my favourite alien, the Sontaran but the serial is filmed entirely on location. I think the idea of human experiment is fascinating and the scene where Sarah Jane is tortured sends tingles down your spine. You also know a lot about the Doctor's character here; he thinks Sarah is dead and attacks Styre the Sontaran. Even Tom Baker broke his collar bone at this point; the action never stops. The documentary is also very intersting and gives the viewer a deep insight into the Sontarans.

I saw this on UK Gold years ago and found it boring and too short, but after rewatching it on DVD recently I have had a change of heart.
The story is anything but boring, and the monster is very effective (although maybe not the robot).
The actual DVD is a first for the 2|entertain range, a "standard edition" release with minimal extras. The only main VAM on this story is "Built for War" - an interesting and informative documentary on the history of the Sontarans.

Kevin Lindsay is the best thing in this. His interpretation of Styre is chilling, totally evil and soulless. He's one of the most evil characters to appear in a Doctor Who.
Ian Marter again is used abismally in the story. And so is Lis Sladen. The characters arent all that show stealing, and the plots a little bit of a blunder as why would sontarans need to invade a basically empty planet?!!!!!!!!!!! And dont even get me started on that lovely tin box robot! Ha ha. I might even just at times give this story a miss in favour of watching The finale of the fifth series of Doctor Who, as this is just very very bland and slow even for a two parter. The only other saving grace is the character of Roth, and he's even killed off far too soon.

A fun romp in which the Doctor, Sarah Jane & Harry get to run around Dartmoor being chased by Sontarons. A light story that doesn't always work but is enjoyable enough.
