The Doctor and his companions have an unbelievably slow adventure on a rather dull planet. The Web Planet is many things but sadly exciting is never one of them. Hartnell stories are often slow but many times all the more interesting for it, this sadly wasn"t one of those times. The camera is covered in Vaseline, there are big carbon fibre ants and they wear anoraks to help them breath. Do you really need to know any more!!!
However, this is Doctor Who and as such it"s still far more interesting than most of the television ever made. But don"t try and watch it in one sitting - it"s more than your sanity can cope with!
The extras are, as ever, utterly excellent. But you expect nothing less from a Classic Doctor Who release.
