Doctor Who: The Sea of Death (1964)
Season 1, Episode 21
9/10
Very ambitious, and successful opening.
26 August 2018
The keys of Marinus is a favourite, for many reasons, it's so varied, so bold, it showed that even in these early years, the people behind it had big ambitions.

It's a mysterious start, with the TARDIS landed on a strange alien world, full of acid and arrange crafts, it's wonderfully imaginative. The sets are great, the Voord look pretty decent too.

One of Hartnell's best slip ups, when he turns to Ian and says 'if you'd have been wearing your shoes, you could have learnt her hers.' it's the look on the faces of William Russell and Jacqueline Hill that makes it so wonderful, Hartnell just carried on regardless, brilliant. Ever the professional, I loved Hartnell in these early years, so cantankerous.

Great start. 9/10
