Late Friday viewers see the 4th Doctor, Leela, and K9 try to rescue the Minyan race bank and escape the planet alive. In The Invasion Of Time, Tom Baker gives a chilling portrayal in this under-rated classic. Having seemingly lost all sense of sanity, the Doctor returns to Gallifrey and declares himself President! Has the Doctor lost his mind?
