Doctor Who, season 2 continued … I’m not sure what the episode title has to do with this episode, but it’s a valiant attempt at doing a one-story episode.  The plot is little more than the crew meeting the alien race, the Daleks issue ultimatum, the alien race holds the Doctor & co before handing them over, by which time they escape.

Nothing particularly adventurous, but nothing to put you to sleep.

The Mire Beast attack was a little strange, with Barbara apparently throwing herself at the wall to get caught.  And the destruction of the Dalek at the TARDIS wasn’t entirely convincing.

Again, at the beginning, the music lets the episode down.  Without that, it does feel quite suspenseful for the most part.

Next time … Flight Through Eternity
