Previously: The Ice Warriors, episode 4-6… The first episode of The Enemy of the World begins stylistically different to most other classic Doctor Who adventures, in that most of the episode is an action piece filmed on location.  This isn’t just your usual quarry used as a backdrop for lots of talking.  […]
