5.0 out of 5 stars A spooky Troughton story !, 20 Feb 2002
The Tardis materialises at Gatwick airport, and Ben and Polly are kidnapped by mysterious aliens. The Doctor, ably assisted by the resourceful Jamie, begins an investigation, while being hunted by both the aliens and the airport authorities.

He discovers that thousands of young people have been kidnapped by a tour operator, Chameleon Tours, and that someone on the airport has access to technology not known on Earth.

The six episodes fly by, as the plot twists and turns in a very entertaining way. There are some marvellous character roles (the Airport Commandant, the police officer investigating the disappearance of one of the missing youngsters, and the Chameleon leader), and of course the eccentric and lovable Pat Troughton, who's on top form in this story.

Sadly, it's Ben and Polly's last appearance in Doctor Who, so there's also a "will-they survive or won't-they?" aspect to their disappearance.

The story is - for once - not about monsters, but is a mystery; and the Doctor has to win a race against time before the aliens' plans can be completed. He isn't helped when the Chameleons start replacing his friends with doubles - as he never knows who will be the next to be replaced!

Some lovely acting, too, by Wanda Ventham, Colin Gordon, Donald Pickering, and Pauline Collins in some of the guest roles.

A classic Troughton story, with a surprise ending...

4.0 out of 5 stars The Faceless Ones is a excellent example of a classic Dr who, 10 Feb 2002
By A Customer
The Faceless Ones, a Patrick Troughton era story,(Ben and Polly's final story), is wonderful story to slip into, away from the real world.Landing in an airport, the Doctor and his companions quickly find themselves in an adventure as hundereds of teenagers aredissapearing and copies of them appearing. Suddenly, Polly dissapears...
This story will centainly keep you on the edge of your seat until the closing credits as it's not quite a happy ending...
The only minor downfall of this fantasticly surreal story is the fact that the addversaries are less courageous than the average Dr Who monster! But apart from that trivia thing, I strongly recommend all who enjoy a classic sci-fi story to buy it immediately and then close their eyes, and listen to the story that caused many to hide behind the sofa...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Troughton Classic, 26 Jul 2004
I purchased the Audio CD of The Faceless Ones after seeing episodes one and three on 'The Reign of Terror' VHS box set.

The story's length is fine and allows the plot to develop properly. The linking narration by Frazer Hines is great and makes up for the lack of pictures on the action shots.

The story sees the departure of both Ben and Polly, although they have relatively minor parts in the story, which is a bit disappointing. Patrick Troughton is, as always on top form with his voice, which is always engaging and comes up with some memorable lines during the story.

If you are a fan of Patrick Troughton, The Faceless Ones is a great story to own.

By no means is this a bad story- far from it. The story has many things going for it (a good plot, some nice performances) but it also has many sore points. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Different, but rather dull
At six episodes, this story drags. There is far too much padding and some of the acting is dreadful (Pauline Collins usual ability with accents fails her here! Read more
