I really enjoyed "survival" yet I also found it quite sad to watch knowing that this is the last ever classic episode (unless you count the movie) and also marks the last appearance of Ace. The amount of special features on these two disks about it being the last episode is overwhelming. The cover isn't all that good; it shows Ace, who is turning into a cheetah person, the doctor holding a skull (in the episode I didn't understand why he did this and still don't but most 7th doctor episodes are like this)and lastly a cheetah person on a horse. The episode is very eerie at the beginning telling about mysterious disappearances going on around Perivale then Ace's meeting with a cheetah person and being taken to another world, and all this leading up to the big reveal that the master is behind all this. The effects like the eyes are very creepy. I loved Sophie Aldred's acting as Ace in this episode like finding out her friends had disappeared was spectacular. The directing in the episode is good but I wouldn't call it the best I have ever seen. Overall a good episode to end classic who.
