The TARDIS team embark upon their quest for the Keys of Marinus and land in a place where everything seems to be perfect. An inventive, if slight, episode, this one features some interesting techniques employed by the prodcution team to pull off the unusual demands of the script. It is also notable because we never actually saw the original, 1964 version of this episode until the DVD release in 2009 - due to some unusual gaps discovered almost by mistake. And The Who in this edition shows that every contributor to the cast list is worth our time - our subjects this week became, respectively, a key theatrical figure in Canada and a celebrated author in the USA... not bad for a couple of fellows who gathered at Lime Grove Studio D in March 1964 to mess about - in motheaten clothes - with brains in jars.
