THE EDGE OF DESTRUCTION

Carole Ann Ford accuses William Russell of stealing some of her lines. 
Season: 1
Episodes: 2
Broadcast Dates: 8-15 February 1964
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: David Whitaker
Writer: David Whitaker
Director: Richard Martin
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara)

The Plot: The TARDIS is experiencing some trouble, so instead of sounding off an alarm and warning the Doctor of what's actually going on, the ship plays mindfucks with the crew. See, in the early days, the TARDIS was a bit of a bitch.
We Like: Not much, really. I have to pick something, so Susan's going scissors-crazy on Ian is iconic enough.
We Dislike: Doctor Who goes absurdist theatre on a two-parter which feels like a ten.
Rating: 1.5
