This is pretty bad. More than anything, I just found the plot boring. I didn't care about any of the characters, and it felt like the production made minimal effort to correct that until the final 10 minutes. There was some extremely clunky acting (possibly down to the direction as, at other times, I thought the same actors were alright), as well as some odd dialogue. The stupid Sontaran was fun. Characters explaining to a Sontaran what a "female" is, and introducing the term "sexually pair bonded", not so much. Apparently this was an extremely rushed production. It shows.

On the positive side, I thought that the sets, costumes and effects looked pretty good. I quite liked the Sontaran design! However, these small positives were not enough to redeem this for me.

This is not too shabby in terms of a fan production, falling towards the more professionally made end of the scale. The trick it pulls off is giving you a view into how Sontarans strategise in situations where they can’t just kill everyone in sight. Terrence Dicks’ characterisation of the Sontarans is good, but onscreen they lose some of their USP with how tall they are, and the voices don’t sit quite right.

As it’s a fan production there are touches of amdram and it’s all a little comical, but I wouldn’t trade it. It gives you a view into what Doctor Who could have looked like in that missing decade of the 90s.
