This is slow and padded out to b*ggery.There's about 25 minutes of plot in 6 episodes.
The Sensorites costumes are terrible. Their face masks are a disaster.
There's half an ok idea in the story but it gets buried under a metric sh*t ton of padding.

ReplyDeleteThis is a clouded gem. It's creaky and and dusty and sometimes is a bit hard going even for the fans. So be careful with it. If you're having trouble, perhaps try watching it in the 25 minutes chunks it was supposed to be seen in. Mid first season Doctor Who. So it's gonna be a fifty year old TV show in 2013..... This comes from a time when the world was slower moving and expectations were lower than they are today. The extras are pretty good. Fans will particularly like the segment featuring Toby Hadoke tracking down the mysterious author of this serial Peter R. Newman.
