(First watched 2007-07-30, -31, -08-01) Very cool. Were it a modern episode a Honey, I Shrunk the Kids comparison would be appropriate, but this episode predates that movie by a quarter century. Considering that and a BBC budget, it was done well. Great to see something really goofy go wrong with the TARDIS, other than just ending up in an inconvenient place or time. The background drama going on wasn't very remarkable, but it kept the environment of hour protagonists from being static... and somehow gave them a way to save many lives, even on modern Earth as inch-high versions of themselves. The villain trying to disguise his voice with a piece of cloth, though... yikes, what a crappy trick. I think this is the first time I remember seeing that cliche in something other than a completely parodic manner.
This episode made me want to play Pikmin.
