(First watched 2007-07-30, -31, -08-01) Very cool. Â 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. Â Considering that and a BBC budget, it was done well. Â Great to see something really goofy go wrong with the TARDIS, other than just ending up in an inconvenient place or time. Â 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. Â The villain trying to disguise his voice with a piece of cloth, though... yikes, what a crappy trick. Â 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.
