Planet of the Spiders isn't out on DVD!? That's quite a surprise to me, especially considering it's a regen episode. And it's terrifying.
It's also eight and a half years long.

"Planet of the Spiders" is painfully padded.

To each their own, I thought Planet of the Spiders was a great story. But let me guess, you hate the "chase episode.""Planet of the Spiders" is painfully padded.
Unfortunately he looks like he's been in battle wearing a rubber Sontaran mask.Linx looks like he's been in battle, a lot of battles in fact!
I agree. I was just making a little joke. Linx is one of the best-looking monster of that era, definitely.Whatever, I still think the makeup is very effective, especially for the early seventies.
I'm happy we're getting four more Pertwee stories in the next couple months. Unfortunately, three of those have Jo. But one has Sarah!Just watched Death to the Daleks and it was funny, one Dalek Blew itself up because it lost a prisoner.....
I am getting to really like Jon Pertwee.
The Ark in Space 4
Alien-Noah lays out his whole evil plan.
Another plan is hatched - Sarah is going to crawl through a conduit and electrify the whole station. This will electrocute the aliens. She is helped by the Doctor who acts like a complete asshole to get her through. But it works.
An army of the aliens is outside the station, sliding ever closer.
The humans are told to evacuate in a small shuttle. The aliens follow them - but it's a trick. The aliens get inside, without knowing the humans aren't really inside. It launches and blows up.
The Doctor, Sarah, and Harry decide to transport down to the Earth. They are going to see if it's ready for life once again.

I'm mostly ok with this. What bothers me is how unconcerned the Doctor is for Earth. It's not terribly long after Susan was left there, maybe a thousand years or so. It's entirely possible she'd still be alive, if regenerated. He doesn't even take a second to consider the possibility.
And, he's sort of an asshole to Sarah Jane. Sure, he had good intentions, but man, what an ass.
With that said, I got a thrill when he used his most famous line for the first time here: "Would you like a Jelly Baby?"
in any event the fourth isn't all that interested in his past.
