I’ve never rated this
story very highly, so though this is the second time I’ve owned it that is
only because it was packaged with other content. Last time it came out with
`Revenge of the Cybermen` , now with the Collection you get the entire season
whether you like it all or not! The fact that there seem to be more different
editions of this story than any other suggests the original needed more work. I
wondered if time would be kind to this peculiar adventure and I have to say its
not quite as bad as I recall. The latest Special Edition is an improvement
simply in that it makes the narrative more coherent though nothing can hide the
fact that this is quite similar to the plot of `Remembrance of the Daleks` and
that many of the developments seem unnecessary.
