Review The Visitation (1982)

[Doctor Omega]

Your thoughts on this story....

The TARDIS returns Tegan to Heathrow Airport: Tall trees, peaceful, clear skies, thriving vegetation and a touch of sulfur in the air. Obviously the TARDIS is a little out of date (about three hundred years or so), but upon looking around the Doctor finds there's more amiss than his navigational controls, all arising after a recent comet crash that was not on Earth's schedule.

What Happened to the Terrileptil Spaceship?




At the end of the DOCTOR WHO story, THE VISITATION, the Doctor and co. depart happily, having set fire to London and killing however many people, bless them.

Being responsible time travellers, when they are not burning innocent people to death however, you would have thought they would have done something about the alien spacecraft left half-buried in the woods and open for public viewing.


This has given me sleepless nights for 36 years now and, since Eric Saward has that restraining order against me to stop badgering him in his retirement home, I am forced to query it here....

What happened to it? And how did it affect that "web of time" that Colin Baker and Lytton wouldn't shut up about?

I loved this story at the time, but it feels a bit ropey in it's execution now.

And I have absolutely no idea why the cast bitch and take the piss out of Michael Robbins as Richard Mace on the dvd audio commentary.

He was brilliant imo.
