Doctor Who and the Invasion of Time

Rating:
Summary: The Best Doctor Who Story Ever
Review: No doubt about it, this is one of the best Doctor Who Stories. The book does not do it justice, but the plot and character interaction prevail, despite the lack of detail. A classic Doctor Who story - the story fits together so well. Fast moving! It is worth it!

The Doctor mysteriously returns to his home planet and claims his right to the Presidency of the High Council of Timelords. It then appears that it is part of a ploy to aid an alien invasion of Gallifrey. However, the Doctor himself is fooled as the initial invades are only pawns of the powerful Sontaran invasion force. The story culminates in a chase through the TARDIS as the Doctor strives to prevent the Great Key from falling into enemy hands (see the Deadly Assassin).

Hopefully this story will be released on DVD soon.

Summary: Invasion Gallifrey
Review: The Doctor lands the TARDIS on a spaceship, leaving Leela and K9 inside while he goes outside, meets with some aliens, and signs a treaty. He refuses to answer any questions from his companions, and directs the TARDIS to Gallifrey. The invasion of time has begun...

The last story in Doctor Who's season fifteen, and the last with Leela as a companion, this story unfolds as it progresses. No-one in this story knows as much as they think they do, and this drives the story onwards.

Particularly good in this story is the Doctor's previous teacher, Borusa, who is quite a bit of fun in his endeavours to act with appropriate dignity in different circumstances, while still playing a real and significant role.

Terrance Dicks adaptation is fairly pedestrian, but the story is strong enough to survive this. The main problem, and not Mr. Dicks' fault, is the departure of Leela under what can only be described as lame circumstances.
