Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Comments: The animation looks so realistic showing the plane and the Tardis. The characters are easy to see that they are animated. The Doctor and his three companions materialize on an airport runway. They start looking around and things start happening. Something weird is going on at this airport. 
  Doctor Who, Polly, Ben and Jamie do keep going trying to figure out what is going on. The companions well two of them end up on their own. The Doctor and one companion Jamie do get the attention of those in charge. 
 The animation is a bit choppy as the characters move around. 
  The episode does end on a mystery and it will leave you wondering what is going on?

Comments: Polly has forgotten who she is. Things are going on at the airport some kind of alien is there. 
  The Doctor now he is trying to solve what is going on yet not making any headway yet. 
  The animation for the Doctor does look just like the actor it is portraying. The Doctor does not seem as intelligent as he is usually shown. 
  It is funny the way the police are always just walking around and the way the Doctor and Jamie hide behind a newspaper. 
  The Doctor is resented getting very cold in a realistic way as his actions and the sounds and motions of his body show. 
  Things are happening in this airport with no reasonable reason for them. The Doctor finds himself trapped in this cliffhanger ending. What will happen next?

Comments: The Doctor faces danger. 
  The animation does the backgrounds very realistic. The voices are beautifully done and they do bring the story across and bring the characters to life.

  Inspector Crossland is a determined detective as he goes about his investigation. 
  The aliens do make their move against the detective. They are not ready to stop or leave. What is their mysterious plan? What are they doing with the people they abduct and where are they? 
  Mysteries abound and the Doctor's presence is felt. What will the Doctor do next?

Comments: The Doctor and his assistants find themselves in trouble. They do face deadly danger. 
  The animation is very animated on the mouths of the characters, the mouths move fast. The animation does portray the Doctor to look just like the actor who played this role. 
  Samantha is a head strong woman. Jamie does want to protect her as does the Doctor. 
  The Doctor does keep goes around the airport investigating as he tries to figure out what is happening with the disappearing passengers. 
  The outer space scenes look amazing and the ships there are out of this world. They do deliver a breathtaking sci-fi alien presence to this show.

  The ending here sets up for the next episode. Things are moving along now. The thrills have just begun.

Comments: The missing passengers are found only they are shrunk down. Why are they shrunk down? What are the aliens plans. The aliens look a little plain yet still different enough to catch your interest. 
  The Doctor does interfere causing trouble for the aliens. He just keeps poking around until he discovers somethings or he gets in the way of what the aliens have planned. 
  The outer space scenes are gorgeously done. They show several ships in space.  
  The Doctor does just keep going and going he pushes until he finds out everything. Than he makes it his business to stop the evil doers. In this animated show they do not seem that evil. They come across as doing great evil yet the aliens seem harmless until you realize what they are doing. 
  The Doctor has a way of blending in with his surroundings. He is there but you do not overly notice him. He is the smartest being in the room just he does not seem like it. This allows him to move more freely as he investigates and gets to whatever is wrong as he always does.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Comments: The Doctor is a prisoner of the aliens. The aliens think they are the most intelligent species in existence. Now the Doctor does turn things around so the aliens are feeling trapped. The Doctor knows how to use a weakness against someone. 
  The Doctor is always moving. Always looking and paying attention. The Doctor does just keep going until he gets results. He has a way of turning the enemy against themselves. The Doctor does see more then his fare share of aliens as he is one himself so he is used to encountering them. Each species though is different and the ones here are to. Seeing them having that spark of wanting to preserve themselves to live on is a great touch as any being would want to. 
  This series ends as most do. The Doctor saves the day and then is off again. He leaves behind two of his companions. The Doctor and Jamie though are back to the Tardis. Well maybe not. Things are never fully what you think they are and something different is always happening.
