The Plot: Two schoolteachers follow a strange pupil home, only to find out she lives in a police box with her cranky grandfather. After a few terse words, the old man kidnaps them and the whole gang is transported back in time to prehistoric Earth.
We Like: The first episode, of course, the one that gets the entire series going especially the moment where Barbara steps into the police box and finds that she's no longer in an ordinary show about schoolteachers and odd teenagers.
We Dislike: The Old Mother for her catastrophic failure to understand that fire was humanity's first major tool of survival. Poetic justice prevails and she does not survive.
Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)
