Story 121 - Earthshock
Broadcast: 8th - 16th March 1982
Thoughts: One of the most visually pleasing and stylistically filmic classic Who stories, Earthshock never stops. The first episode and the surprise reveal are incredible, and the move from location to studio is almost seemless. The freighter actually comes across as a huge spaceship (unlike many Doctor Who spaceships in the 1980s), Matthew Waterhouse have vastly improved his performance by this point and David Banks is hands-down the best actor ever to play a cyberman.
Rating - 10/10
