You’ve got to hand it to the Doctor — he’s single-handedly saved Gallifrey almost as many times as the Earth, and The Invasion of Time even lets him double dip! Rescuing the Time Lords from the Vardans was just a warm-up, with the Sontarans laying in wait to have their crack at the planet once the production runs out of tinfoil. The story is a bizarro Russian doll of invasions, seemingly orchestrated by a borderline-megalomaniacal Doctor, set against the backdrop of Robert Holmes’ delightfully dysfunctional Gallifrey. Thank Rassilon there’s a robot dog here to make sense of it all.Commentary for The Invasion of Time begins at Rate and review Pull To Open on Apple Podcasts!Join the conversation on Spotify!Follow us on: TikTok! @pulltoopen Instagram: @pulltoopen63 Twitter: @pulltoopen63 YouTube: youtube.com/pulltoopenPlay Pull To Open Bingo!Story Essentials Season 15, Serial 6 Story number: 96, per the The Pull To Open Codex Writer: David Agnew (Anthony Read, Graham Williams) Director: Gerald Blake Producer: Graham Williams Aired 4 February – 11 March 1978Pull To Open: The Invasion of Time Season 4 Episode 15Hosts: Pete Pachal and Chris TaylorMusic: Martin West/Thinking Fish
