I really, really enjoyed this series. It's seven episodes long but the story kept going and didn't feel as if it was dragging at any point. And it kept you thinking too. A great moral dilemma – humans v. the creatures who were there first and wanted to take back the earth. I loved the Doctor trying so hard to get both sides to work and live together, and then, when that didn't work, at least getting the Silurians to go back into their stasis – only to find at the very end that the Brigadier was blowing them up.
Fantastic expansion on the relationship between the Doctor and the Brigadier in this one. Where is the Doctor/Brigadier slash? There must be some, surely? Especially with the Doctor looking so damn sexy in his white t-shirt and jeans and all those muscles… d'you know, I think Three is actually the 'fittest'-looking Doctor of them all, really! Not bad, at Jon Pertwee's age!
Other things spotted:
Bessie!!!! (Bessie is about the only thing I remember about Three.)
Avon!!!! (All right, Paul Darrow – a very young Paul Darrow, as one of the Brigadier's soldiers. It was his voice that made me recognise him. You can't miss that grating voice.)
Geoffrey Palmer!!!! (I don't think I'd ever seen him looking so young.)
And an interesting little note to add to the Doctor's confusion about his age: "You know, I'm beginning to lose confidence for the first time in my life - and that covers several thousand years." I suppose he could be talking about the several thousand years that he's visited over his lifetime, but it's a bit odd. They really should have paid more attention to canon as they were writing it! :-)
(NB. Must get a Three icon. I've still got another three serials with him in! Maybe a 'Three iz fit' icon. Hmmm...)

And I watched the first four episodes of Inferno last night, and that's *fantastic*!
