Doctor Who Series 9 Reviews #8: The Zygon Invasion

The Zygon Invasion by Peter Harness

The Zygon Invasion features the return of the Zygons, Kate Stewart, Jac and a version of Osgood. It follows on from Day of the Doctor with the Zygon-Human peace treaty and the effects of Missy killing a version of Osgood in Death in Heaven.

Peter Harness has returned with a much better script than his first Kill the Moon. This episode was the best episode since Day of the Doctor, which was the 50th
