THE SENSORITES

The Sensorites add a new meaning to the words "platform boots".
Season: 1
Episodes: 6
Broadcast Dates: 20 June-1 August 1964
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: David Whitaker
Writer: Peter R. Newman
Director: Mervyn Pinfield (eps. 1-4), Frank Cox (eps. 5-6)
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), Carole Ann Ford (Susan), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara)

The Plot: The mysterious Sensorites have been terrorising a human spaceship, but all is not what it seems and the real villains have yet to be revealed.
We Like: Although a bit snail-paced, the suspense build up nicely and the Sensorites are the first real alien culture presented on the programme.
We Dislike: The Sensorites really cannot tell each other apart, so they have only to switch clothes to impersonate anyone of their species.
Rating: 4
