THE KEYS OF MARINUS

"You see, Doctor, if you carry on with this task you'll earn XPs you can use
to make your next adventure much more exciting."
Season: 1
Episodes: 6
Broadcast Dates: 11 April-16 May 1964
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: David Whitaker
Writer: Terry Nation (x2)
Director: John Gorrie
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara)

The Plot: Doctor Who goes Dungeons and Dragons as the Dungeon Master sends the four travellers to collect the six keys to the Conscience of Marinus. Against their will, I might add.
We Like: The telepathic brains with mind control powers, the jungle and its moving grapevine, the two frozen warriors.
We Dislike: The fact that Terry couldn't make this interesting idea more...interesting. A dud.
Rating: 2
