Episode 2: The End of the World
A much better story than Episode 1 with brilliant set and costume design, a fun story and dazzling effects for it's budget. Very entertaining and underrated little adventure.

This episode provides some interesting knowledge about the Doctor's past, and some of the side characters are well-written, but that's pretty much all that's good about this episode, as the rest of it relies on a weak villain and "look at our alien designs".

A Disappointment compared to the First episode but a satisfactory story and villain with great creature designs
