Serial #3: The Edge of Destruction
Commentary and analysis of Doctor Who's shortest serial "The Edge of Destruction!"
The TARDIS crashes and the Team is trapped inside--and no one is quite themselves! Tensions run high as each member of the crew has to confront whatever force has come aboard the TARDIS....or is the real problem inside them all along?
BARBARA: Yes. Or we're imagining things. We must be. I mean, how would anything get into the ship, anyway?
SUSAN: The doors were open.
BARBARA: Yes, but, but where would it hide?
SUSAN: In one of us.
I also use this episode to talk more generally about this specific Team TARDIS and why I think this Fearsome Foursome works so well in comparison to some of the other larger TARDIS crews, the significance of Susan and the Doctor's unique familial relationship, and the charge of "sexism" often labeled at Classic Who (my thoughts in short: "it's complicated.")
NEXT TIME: Serial #4 Marco Polo (Episodes: "The Roof of the World," "The Singing Sands," "Five Hundred Eyes," "The Wall of Lies," "Rider from Shang-Tu," "Mighty Kublai Klan," "Assassin at Peking") ALL EPISODES ARE MISSING:-(
To Watch: Loose Canon's Reconstruction
BBC's 30 Minute Condensed Reconstruction
