If you ever caught a cold with a nose like that, it's anybody's guess, just how far you'd blow your hat, you'd be covered head to trotter, you would need a mighty blotter, and imagine how verdant would be the splat.
This is another brilliant episode that carries on in the same quality from where episode 1 ended. We get to see the Kraals, Terry Nation's fairly well executed new alien threat, not much chance of them being reused i don't think, although they have appeared in a Big Finish audio, the Oseidon adventure. Must say I would rock a pair of Kraal silver dm's. We see more intrigue and confusion as friends of the doctor, Sullivan and Benton don't recognise him, there's the famous scene where Tom went into the river and swallowed dirty water, which affected his voice. The village setting is once again glorious, very pretty place. I love the scene in the village store, shops were much nicer back then. What's going on in Devesham Village? and what's up with Sarah Jane, why does she suddenly like Ginger beer? all will be revealed soon. The end of this episode features arguably one of the best cliffhangers.

Sarah Jane Smith: They're our friends.
