INVASION of Time' sees the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker) return to his home planet of Gallifrey to claim the Presidency of the High Council of Time Lords. In a series of out-of-character moves, he expels many officials and even companion Leela (Louise Jameson) to the wastes of Outer Gallifrey. Sonce he is behaving totally out of character, it appears that The Doctor has succumbed to the dark side of his nature.
This story is the last one in which Leela appeared as she fell in love and opted to stay on Gallifrey - also keeping K9.
The 2 disc set features the original 6 part story as shown in 1978 along with some intriguing extras such as how the portrayal of the Time Lords and Gallifrey has changed over the years.
