Doctor Who: The Invasion: Episode Eight (1968)
Season 6, Episode 18
8/10
Lots of action, a very good finale.

Vaughn must now work with The Doctor to prevent an all out catastrophe.

It has been a long time reaching this point, but The Invasion has never at any stage been boring. It's funny to think we didn't get to see a Cyberman until the exact halfway point. Part six for me was the best episode, mainly down to the iconic imagery it had, although Part eight doesn't quite hit those heights, it still has some wonderful scenes. Lots of action, as UNIT battle The Cyber threat head on, plenty of action.

Comedy gold from Troughton as he runs to escape gun fire, it's a hilarious scene.

I mentioned in Part one that I was split overall in Troughton's best Cybermen story, I love this one, but overall I think I prefer Tomb of the Cybermen, possibly benefiting from being more compact.

There's a bit of a filming quality next, with the Krotons.
