| | Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment - DVD review |
 | | Nowadays, we are of course accustomed to stories running to an equivalent short length in the form of single 45-minute episodes in the new series, but the original show naturally ran at a much more leisurely pace, and four-parters were generally considered to be a standard in which to tell a good, solid story. |
 | | The Sontaran Experiment is odder than most, standing alone as the only two-parter to be produced in the glorious golden age of the 1970's, and it seems to act almost as a short 'interlude', sandwiched as it is between two bona fide classics, |
 | | A group of stranded astronauts find themselves at the mercy of Styre the Sontaran and his ridiculous grappling robot drone, which captures human subjects for Styre to conduct his torturous experiments upon, in admirable forward-thinking preparation for a planned invasion fleet. |
