Also known as
The Edge of DestructionA deliberate padding episode, curious for the initial ideas it reveals which are mostly forgotten now decades later. (But see Bad Wolf/The Parting of the Ways...)
The silly flip ending (the 'fast return switch' getting stuck) seems ludicrous but surely that reflects the advances in expectations of everyday technology in the last 54 years.

When I was younger (like REALLY young) I thought this story was edgy, deep and cool- it went into my category of "it'll make sense when you are older"----kinda like what I thought of Silver Nemesis...
