The Time Warrior - Episode 4
The Doctor gets to dress up as the robot. Kinda different to see him like that. The effects of the bullets hitting behind the Doctor are done well. The "women's lib" bit with Sarah is a bit forced, but it's well played by Elisabeth Sladen, who is superb in her debut story throughout. Professor Ruebish is a delightful temporary sidekick, would have been interesting to see him carry through as a featured player, but oh well. The climax is great, except for the jarring bit of mismatched stock footage for the explosion.
Thumbs up for this fun travel back in time. Good to see some historical settings again, after such a long time. Sarah Jane Smith hits the ground running in her debut story, and the Sontarans are a great new alien addition to the Doctor Who mythology. Fun story that doesn't take itself too seriously.
