THE WEB PLANET

Barbara, having taken LSD for the first time, is seen here talking to a
butterfly.
Season: 2
Episodes: 6
Broadcast Dates: 13 February-20 March 1965
Producer: Verity Lambert
Script Editor: Dennis Spooner
Writer: Bill Strutton
Director: Richard Martin
Regular Cast: William Hartnell (Dr. Who), William Russell (Ian), Jacqueline Hill (Barbara), Maureen O'Brien (Vicki)

The Plot: On planet Vortis, an eldricht abomination called the Animus had laid the planet waste. The TARDIS crew must help the Menoptra invasion force to reclaim their planet
We Like: The Menoptras, pretty useless but great costumes and choregraphy. The Zarbi, the Opteras and the fact that its Barbara who kills the monster, not the Doctor. The sets. Oh hell, everything!
We Dislike: The Menoptras' habit of screaming "zaaaaarrrrbi" instead of, you know, attacking them.
Rating: 5
