Jon Pertwee's swansong, and what a great swansong it is. My only criticism with this episode was that the brigadier wasn't in it very much, for Pertwee's last episode I would have thought the UNIT family would play a bigger part. The spiders I thought were quite well made and looked quite good. The plot I thought was very interesting because it starts with meditation and ends with a giant spider, and I liked the way they manage to get it like this. One of the most pointless things about this episode, it just went on forever, nearly all of episode two was the chase and basically it was all pointless because after they had gone on road, on water, and in the air they nearly captured him then the villain disappeared and reappeared back in the manor, so basically it was all pointless, but although it may have been pointless I still found it enjoyable and I am sure Jon Pertwee did too. In this episode we see LOT'S of characters that had worked with Pertwee in previous episodes and in one of the special features it said that this was to make Pertwee more comfortable and enjoyable in his last episode. The cover is very good, it shows the 3rd doctor, Sarah Jane with a spider on her back in one of her most famous poses and the great one in the background. Overall a great episode to end a great doctor.
