The Doctor, Jamie, Ben and Polly land slap back on a runway in the middle of Gatwick Airport, the quartet run off to elude Police capture. Polly witnesses a man being shot by another, the weapon used is a futuristic ray gun that could only belong to an alien being. The travellers return to the scene of the crime and go in search of the authorities. Ben is working solo, Polly is snatched at the command of Captain Blade of Chameleon tours, the man at the top of the Aliens at Chameleon Tours. The Doctor and Jamie have trouble explaining their presence in the Airport, they insist that The Commandant accompanies them to the Hanger, the body has disappeared. At the Chameleon tours base Polly is 'processed.' Polly later reappears, claiming her name isn't Polly and that she has no idea who the Doctor or Jamie are. A faceless, featureless veiny creature is later revealed, and set to be processed.
I'm always surprise by the amount of stick The Faceless ones gets, I know it's not the best production of all, but it's original, it's different and it flows well.
It's a good example of the four members of the TARDIS working well together, everyone has something to do, nobody is shunned.
Incredibly 60's music throughout, it's a fitting score that could only belong to that era.
Some great performances, I've always been a big fan of the velvet voiced Wanda Ventham, a great servant to Doctor Who, she would return in Image of the Fendahl and Time and the Rani (least said about the latter the better.)
Really good start to a pretty good serial. 8/10
