Doctor Who rewatch (142/365)

I'd run out of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, so I decided to subscribe to Britbox so I can watch classic Doctor Who.

So far, I've watched An Unearthly Child (oddly familiar from the Target novelisation though I'd never seen it before), The Daleks, and Edge of Destruction which I thought was terrific.

Well worth the £5.99 a month, and it's going to keep me going for ages.

The Edge of Destruction is indeed terrific! It doesn't get the same automatic level of attention as the more plot- and action-focused stories around it, and I'm sure it wouldn't have been made at all if there had been more budget available to play with. But as with so many other things in Doctor Who, the budget constraints were a blessing. A story set entirely on the TARDIS and with only the core cast turned out to be just what was needed at that point in the season to really bring the characters into full focus and let the audience see new angles on them. You've made me want to watch it again, in fact!
