Invasion of the Dinosaurs

(Series 11, Episodes 5-10)

Summary: Yates turns bad, Benton kicks ass and the Brigadier remains the Dana Scully of Doctor Who, as the show continues its 70s’ obsession with environmentalism.  A hostage situation is defused by the timely arrival of tea and Sarah continues to be awesome in the face of a convoluted plan involving nostalgic nutters and dinosaurs (clips straight outta Jurassic Park). 

Watch it because: Totally convincing dinosaur model work.
