Whilst episodes 2 and 3 aren’t that great, I found the first and last episodes of this serial very enjoyable. The Toymaker is a great villain - I’m glad he’s making a comeback.
A good start to what seems like an interesting serial. Even though the sets are small and a bit simple, I like the atmosphere they create. The Toymaker is a good villain.
If RTD can bring back the Celestial Toymaker, he should also bring back the Monk. It's a real shame that he hasn't been seen in any episodes after this.

A good season with some mixed episodes. T
A 3.5 rating for this serial. Whilst it starts off very well, the story is let down by the subsequent episodes. This might not be the best or worst serial of this season but I did find it enjoyable to watch.

I think this quote sums up the spirit and nature of The Doctor very well.

A mostly enjoyable start to an iconic show. Whilst there were some
It’s such a shame that this is a missing serial because the Loose Cannon reconstruction shows this is an interesting story. The sets and costumes are impressive!
This was an okay serial. I don’t think it should’ve been 7 parts (episode 6 in particular was a filler episode) but it was enjoyable and a great introduction to the daleks!
