5.0 out of 5 stars Forging a new era, 23 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This, the first of the Pertwee years, marked a big change in the series as a whole - the first colour episode! Here the aging Timelord, punished by his own people is forced to regenerate and is trapped on the Earth. However there is no time to waste as a local plastics factory, close to where the Doctor is found, is producing dangerous dolls...meteorites are falling on the area over and over, and it isn't long before a bid for global demination has begun - as usual. Excellent, classic story from the dawn of a new age of British Sci-Fi

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Start For Pertwee, Brilliant story., 14 Feb 2001
By johnwelch1@hotmail.com (Allendale,Northumberland, England.) - See all my reviews
The third time the doctor saves the world is possibly the best. The doctor arrives on earth newly generated. He's rushed to hospital instantly. Meanwhile, strange asteroid showers have been falling in the same area & UNIT are puzzled by this. The appointment of Liz Shaw to UNIT is done to help discover why. A plastic doll factory have secretly been producing AUTONS, a doll-like creature, a killing machine with a gun when it's hand folds down. The doctor is attempted to be kidnapped from the hospital by some autons, I love it when he races away in his wheelchair with the autons following. The doctor eventually discovers that the meteorites are sent to help the autons in their invasion of earth. By this time, autons are all over the country, in shop windows, "pretending" to be mannequins to model clothes. Will the doctor be able to foil their plans? This story is one of the most scary I can think of because the autons look so much like us, & we see them every week in shops. The wigs which they wear make them look frightening. Their robot-like movements & the fact they have no eyes doesn't bear thinking about. But buy it, because its one of the most interesting & strangely realistic stories. Its exellant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A classic story, 29 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Many new doctors first stories have been poor ( Twin Dilema and Time and the rani) but this one is good.Not only is this the first clolour episode(Wow!)but this is beggining of the era of Jon Pertwee my favourite actor to play the Doctor.
Here he sets of the Third Doctor with a boom.
Here we also see the first apperance of Liz Shaw although she only lasted 25 episodes Pertwee's first season, I found her a wonderful companion.Here the doctor starts his permanent relation with U.N.I.T which was to play a major role with the Third Doctor.Being exiled onto earth into the 20th century by his own people.The script is a classic, written by Robert Holmes. All his stories are classics and this is no exception.The dummies are wondefully life like and the story is very gripping.
Jon Pertwee, Caroline John and Nicholhas Courtney give first class performances with a first class script

4.0 out of 5 stars Jon's first.
This was probably quite an odd episode to those who first watched it because it was all in colour. I think Jon Pertwee is( was) really good at playing the doctor. At £5. Read more
