Who Review #94 - the Invisible Enemy

scene by scene, episode by episode

This is one of those stories that has been panned by the fans. I think it has some fun ideas and some merits, but generally the ideas are poorly realised. The special effects are awful and the less said about the Swarm Leader and its mushy pea spawn the better!

Rather than dwell on the bad parts, I'll look at what I liked. The model work was far superior to anything tried before; normally, the models did seem to be all to similar to a squeezy bottle thingy , held together with doublesided sticky tape, from Blue Peter. Frederick Jaeger makes another appearance (as Professor Marius) and is quite good. The best thing about the story is the introduction of the loveable dog K9 (voice provided by John Leeson).
