Last Classic Who Story you watched

[Qonundrum]

On blu-ray:

Terror of the Zygons - definitely is UNIT's final great after a bunch of duds, and of what we see of UNIT after that, only one (Battlefield) is any good.

The Android Invasion - a poor copy of "Zygons", a more than decade before "Silver Nemesis" copied "Remembrance of the Daleks".

Season 13's restoration and upscaling methods don't seem to be as good as previous seasons, if anything the 16mm film sequences look like they were overly smoothed then digital noise added to have them blend in with the videotape look more.

I decided to get back to work on Classic Who today, since I've already watched The Time Warrior I decided to jump over it and watched the first episode of The Invasion of the Dinosaurs. It got off the a good start, the whole thing with evacuated London was kinda creepy, and it was a little scary how casual the general, or whatever he was, was about shooting looters. I'm a little confused by why the Brigadier was referring to dinosaurs as "monsters" when it was pretty clear what they were. I would have assumed even back most people would have been able to recognize dinosaurs. I know it said on the Tardis Wiki that the called this episode only The Invasion instead of The Invasion of the Dinosaurs Episode 1, so was that also part of that?

That seems to be a 'dead granny'. As overseas sales moved to colour tapes, b&w telerecordings stopped during Dinos. Barry Letts was unhappy, so let it be wiped fast. But as BBC Wales ran season 11 on Monday they were sent the tapes and kept most of them.
