The Doctor shows of a new piece of machinery. A device that captures live events from the past and shows them on screen, a time telly. After the crew each see something they wanted to, Barbara witnesses a scary message, The Daleks, discussing amongst themselves that they're about to attack the 'enemy' TARDIS ship.
I really like the opening episode, it's a good solid story, it's hugely atmospheric, the wilderness scenes look wonderfully authentic, aided by the black and white, the music also is great. Hartnell was so strong in the role at this stage, wonderfully charismatic, Ian and Barbara had been fantastic, sad that this was to be their last adventure.
Possibly a little too much humour, jokes aplenty, but they seem to work, I love the Beatles clip. I love that final scene of the Dalek rising up out of the sun, not too sure about the groaning though.
Great start to this serial 8/10
