* NarmCharm: The story is technically crap with an alien plot that makes no sense and weak monsters, but it is still a watchable episode because of The Doctor and Sarah's interaction, the funny moments where the Doctor is ImpersonatingTheEvilTwin and the genuinely creepy moments with the androids in general.

* IdiotPlot: The story has a plot twist based around the idea that Crayford, a character who wears an eyepatch, actually still has a perfectly functioning eye underneath it without his knowledge. This would require him to never take his eyepatch off for years - not to clean it, not to sleep, nothing. The Doctor comes up with several incorrect theories regarding the events in the village - first that they've landed in the aftermath of a radioactive incident, then that there's mass hypnosis going on - which is quite unusual for him; Sarah forgets to tell the Doctor that the TARDIS has gone missing; and Styggron's "plan" is without doubt the most incomprehensible and random GambitRoulette ploy any villain has ever attempted in Classic ''Who'', which is saying something. The Doctor even speculates to an android Sarah about just one aspect of Styggron's plan (why's he bothering to create a simulated Earth village and fill it with android doubles if he could just wipe everyone out with a virus?) and the story never answers it. The DVD production subtitles spent a lot of time pointing out all of these plot holes and eventually conclude that Styggron is 'one of the most eccentric opponents the Doctor has ever faced... or else he's a twit'.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Both Creator/IanMarter and John Levene were both unhappy making this serial because they felt that there was no reason for Harry and Benton to be there at all. Indeed, they play their android duplicates for most of the story and even then, they play a minimal role. And this was their last appearance in the series proper to boot; Levene would reprise Benton for a DVD movie and some audios, but Marter would sadly pass away before he could return as Harry.
