Like 'The Ice Warriors' review I am not going to tell you about the plot since it is a new release but there is quite a big spoiler that I will mention so sorry. First of all, the cover. It is brilliant, not as good as 'The Ice Warriors' DVD cover but still good, it includes everything it should; the doctor, Zygons and the Loch Ness monster. In the episode he only wore the tartan scarf as you can see on the cover for only a little part of the episode which is a shame, it should really have been worn longer. I don't really like when the picture goes onto the 'doctor who' part of the cover but I suppose it shows the size of the Zygons towering over the fourth doctor. The first thing I noticed about the episode was the music. There is some really brilliant musical parts which really helps the story, it changes from slow to fast which is also good and the music is perfect for the story and the bagpipes were the icing on the cake. The Zygons look brilliant especially the head pieces, you can tell they have worked very hard on them, the leg section of the costume isn't very good but at least they have tried. The loch ness monster isn't very good but it still look kind of realistic. The plot is amazing but I can't tell you about it but it is very good. Now here comes the spoiler: When the doctor destroys the Zygon ship it looks amazing! There are quite a few explosions in this episode but this one looked particularly dramatic. The tenth doctor wouldn't really approve of the fourth destroying the ship with the Zygons still inside and I didn't approve of it really either. Lastly we didn't really learn lot's about the Zygons so hopefully we learn more about them in the 50th since they are returning. The ending is very good but I am afraid I am once again running out of room. Overall another great episode and in terms of plot it is probably better than 'The Ice Warriors'.
