A well- remembered
story from 1982, `The Visitation’s` position in the history of the show is
enhanced by following in the footsteps of `The Sea Devils` and `Robot` in having its production examined for the `Making
Of Doctor Who` books. As a result we are almost as familiar with behind the
scenes stills as those taken front of camera. The so-called pseudo historical
was always a popular option for the show making the most of its limited budget
in a way that gleaming spaceships and alien worlds would always struggle
with. This was a popular story with
viewing figures over nine million for each episode peaking with 10.1 million
for part four, very healthy even by early Eighties standards.
