80: Terror of the Zygons
28 July 2018
"Well, you can't rule the world in hiding.You've got to come out onto the balcony sometimes and wave a tentacle, if you'll pardon the expression."

As a child who grew up and loved "New Who", I was introduced to the Zygons in The Day of the Doctor and given another story within The Zygon Invasion/Inversion. Both of these episodes have a very special place in my heart, so the thought of their first (and only other) story rising above them was completely unexpected. But, from the first few seconds of this serial I knew it was gonna be something special. Philip Hinchcliffe's effect on the show is obviously in full force as we're given the darkest and most eerily disturbing U.N.I.T story in the history of the fictional organization. I obviously wasn't scared by this but I received an uncanny, creepy feeling while watching these parts that I haven't felt since Series 6 in 2011 when I was ten, and thought Doctor Who was the scariest television show I'd ever experienced. Those were the days...
