This is a strange story.
There are some really strong and enjoyable elements to this one; the 7th Doctor and Jo on top form, a first half mystery involving a secretive military force that trumps UNIT, the weird Delphin Isle with it's even weirder pub...and of course the villagers submerged under the water. Throw in the blue jelly and the ace cover and music (or rather, most of the music) and this one is a real winner.
But for me it is let down by the annoyingly modulated alien voices and the comedy music cues, and in the end it doesn't quite live up to that excellent early potential. Saying that, I did enjoy it.
A strange 6 out of 10.
