Three episodes into Invasion of Time, wherein the Fourth Doctor becomes President of Gallifrey right before it gets invaded by a sheet of tinfoil that to my untrained ear seems to be trying desperately to cover up its Belfast accent.

It is brilliance of the highest order, containing as it does Borusa, Leela getting herself a hot Time Lady girlfriend, a look at the TARDIS swimming pool, the sacred plastic inflatable cushion of Rassilon and K9 going all butch. That's my favourite bit, actually, the fact that he seems to have forgotten he's a little metal dog who falls over on uneven surfaces and spends this story going Samuel L Jackson on everyone's ass. He tells the TARDIS off for being a 'stupid machine' and then has sex with it, SRSLY! He snaps "I'm in charge"! And you just know it would have been "I'm in charge, motherfucker" but the BBC were scared of Mary Whitehouse and her ninjas.

*dies* Between this and mention of TARDIS chase scenes in another comment, I think I may have to watch this. :D

I'm looking forward to the TARDIS chase scene. It's one thing I'd like to see more of in the new series, other bits in the TARDIS, but I know other people are dead against it (something about 'it's Narnia that's important, not the wardrobe')

Yes. More than just the console. Does it have many other rooms, since it's obviously been redecorated?

I would love the butterfly room, but that is very much Eight's only. *loves*
