The very first Doctor Who adventure ever! Part of the filmed episodes have been lost in time, but fortunately we still have them in script form. The story is standard early TV sci-fi stuff, more adventurous than scientific or philosophical, but not completely shallow. A decent start to a still ongoing journey.
