Talk about low budget aliens!!! Wow!! I used to watch it, but looking back now, I feel like the only Doctor Who worth anything was Tom Baker, and even though the aliens were still a bit... well... second rate, they were a far cut above the prior ones. I can't say I was ever scared by them, I think I was laughing too hard. On a scare level with "Plan Nine From Outer Space".
