DW: The Tenth Planet – rewatch
Hey Guys,
welcome to the 2nd adventure of the 4th season of Doctor Who ‘The Tenth Planet’. The first Doctor is traveling with Polly and Ben. The 3rd season had a lot differnet Companions but in 4th season we got the biggest change. What actually for as makes Doctor Who what it is today. Willam Hartnells Doctor died and regenarted. ‘The Tenth Planet’ is the last adventure with the first Doctor. Polly and Ben will stay almost the whole season.
The story takes place in 1986 in Antartica and introduced another long lived enemy of the Doctor the Cybermen.
Mondas
The history of Mondas. Earth twin brother that drifted away. The story of the cybermen is not really different to the story of Daleks. There are a few mayor difference. The cybermen bringen Mondas back in our solar system to get the energie from earth. Pure survivle with no understanding for life or compassion. Polly tries to talk sense into the cybermen. That is something not many companions would do.
Polly and Ben saving the day
Sadly the Doctor don’t have much screen time. William Hartnell was ad bad health and has absend from most of the adventure. But so everything is up to Polly and Ben. There is no Doctor telling them what to do. They have to make the decissions on their own. They handle themself has good as the Doctor by messing everything up and get captured before they get out of there alive.
Reanimation
The last episode is sadly lost. But the reanimation of the episode is one of the better ones. It is detailed and you can see the typical emotions of our heros on their faces. Also it kinda suits the emotionless cybermen. I am more than happy that they did reanimated this. I love the story and it is such a important story for the Doctor Who we know and love.
