"Restored and visually impressive remastering"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Jon Pertwee's first Doctor Who story featuring the plastic Autons. A great story and entertaining even if the special effects are less than ideal by today's standards. Blu ray is the way to go for a new crisp quality. The extras are interesting too. Well worth having and hopefully more classic stories will be made into Blu ray.

Description

Exile! The Time Lords have banished the newly regenerated Doctor to Earth… But the Doctor isn’t the only alien to have arrived, as a swarm of meteorites have crashed into the sleepy English countryside, bringing with them a terrible new threat to mankind.

As the Nestene plan takes shape, UNIT, the Doctor and his newly appointed scientific advisor, Liz Shaw, race against time to stop humanity being replaced by a terrifying plastic facsimile race…

Originally shot on 16mm film, this classic Doctor Who story is the first to be upgraded into stunning HD.
