the dinosaurs arent roaring they are saying roar

I'm sorry, but those effect's were adorable, i.e. really terrible, but we love em' they make a good laugh if nuthin else

@glnelson1956 Agreed. With imagination, you always have an unlimited budget, so things can look as good as you want them too. At least, that's how it was for me when I read the Pinnacle Books novelization of this way back when.

Look it's Nyder and the landlord of the crow & crown from Withnail & I

Yes, looking foward to this, Terror of the Autons, The Daemons and Planet of Spiders and The Ambassadors of Death to be released on DVD and The Silurians to be unboxed. Big asks but I can wait.

This is one of the best-ever WHO stories, very entertaining and fast moving. While the limited dino SFX hurts initially, once imagination takes over, the dinosaurs are barely noticeable in this otherwise superb story!
Also remarkable is the solid anchoring presence Elisabeth Sladen is in only her 2nd story. The WHO producers must have been really impressed with her, to give "Sarah Jane" such a large amount of screen time in only her 2nd outing!

Only Part 1 was lost, and exists now only as a B&W video transfer. The concern about a DVD of "Invasion of the Dinosaurs" is that even with colorization of Part 1, there would be an obvious difference in quality between Part 1, and Parts2-6.
-
The special effects were part of the charm of the classic show, but truth be told it was campy even for that time period. The look of the special effects reflected the imagination of the art department who had to work with limited funds and limtied technology. They would have been happy to use CGI if they had it, but they didn't. Remember the rock monster on Star Trek? A man beneath a rug! The effects were very innovative for what they had to work with.

They cannot bring it out on DVD because the BBC lost a lot of footage...

Ahaha! that was crazy to watch! I loved it.
Special effects for the dinosaurs were hilariously brilliant ;D

Excellent point and comment, mintyspace.
Advice to those so lacking in imagination that you require the "spoon-feeding" of special effects via cartoonish CGI:
READ BOOKS!
Reading a book requires that you create a world in your imagination based on the author's words. It is a great way to build your mental creativity.

I think the special effects look cute and charming, for all those bagging the special effects, you need an imagination, or would you rather just be constantly be spoon fed CGI cop-outs
