I remember Attack as being good first time round, but on repeated viewings it's... a mess. Like Resurrection, it's a bunch of fanwank set-pieces haphazardly tossed across the screen.
That description reads as being more icky than I thought.
Oddly, it probably works better now, given that it depends on a lot of knowledge of previous episodes, which viewers on DVD nowadays are more likely to have than casual viewers at the time did... Colbourne and Glover are great, though, and it's pretty much a guilty pleasure.
The Two Doctors is decent, but not as awesome as it should have been, and I think that's basically because it's about half an hour too long. And needed a better director.
