A review by gaz042
Doctor Who and the Auton Invasion, by Terrance Dicks
3.0
First I want to say there is nothing wrong with this story and the reason I gave it such a low rating was completely personal.
When I seen the title I assumed it was a re telling of attack of the autons. It's not.
They started the Doctor out regenerating. I didn't think much of it at first. But the lack of Jo Grand was disappointing. (Her being my favourite companion) I don't have anything against Liz but I found myself becoming more and more frustrated when I had to keep reminding myself it was Liz and not Jo.
The lack of Master was also a big disappointment. At first I was couldn't understand why he was being written so boring. And upset that some of my favourite parts where not being shown. Well that had to do with the Master just not being a part of this story at all.
This also makes the mind control make a lot less scene.
Like I said, it's not a bad story at all. But coming thinking I would be seeing two of my favourite characters in the doctor who univers this because very frustrating.
