Doctor Who: Planet of Evil: Part Two (1975)
Season 13, Episode 6
8/10
A very strong continuation.
8 June 2018
Whilst the second episode doesn't quite pack the punch of the opener, it's still a particularly strong episode from a purple patch in the show's long history. I don't think I've ever said this, but the big winner in this episode once again is the design team, a combination of set design and subtle lighting ensure that the episode looks incredible. The story has some fascinating concepts, anti matter, the planet at the edge of existence, and of course ends with an excellent cliffhanger. A few minor grumbles, the Army crew follow the usual stereotype, of a slightly single minded, bombastic leader, with a sympathetic deputy, and the anti matter monster perhaps looks a little raw. Those however are very minor criticisms, Tom and Lis are at the peak of their brilliance, this is a quality episode.
