In the first episode of this story you can see they have got some very big ideas and that they are really trying to make this a good end of series. I can see this from of course the fire that they have, a great moment full of tension and it's one of the moments where you see just how fragile the doctor is and I think this scene is good at creating sympathy for the doctor. The fire looks very good, it is of course done by models but I think it would have looked brilliant back in 1964. William Hartnell's acting particularly stands out in this scene and in most of the story really. The story is really accurate and shows how horrible that era is, and it also shows how nobody really trusts each other. The set's are just brilliant in this episode, they are incredibly detailed and well made. The plot is also quite smart too, and it doesn't really get boring anywhere which 6 parters sometimes do. Overall a tense, and ambitious episode and that's what makes it so great. The only problem I really had in this episode was Susan , I though she was way too screamy, and it just got annoying after a while, but only a minor thing and doesn't ruin the episode.
