Planet of the Spiders

Notes

For conversion into full article:

• By far and away the best story for Mike Yates, he gets some character development instead of simply being a higher-ranking Benton.
• Watching this always makes me want to find out more about Buddhism and visit a retreat.
• Pleased that psychokinesis is used instead of telekinesis - always bugs me when people use the latter.
• Is this the only time the Doctor calls the Brigadier by his first name instead of his rank? 'A little too much, perhaps, eh Alistair?' (he also uses the Brigadier's first name in The Android Invasion but the Brigadier isn't in that story).
• Tommy/Tom is an interesting character, both before and after his mind is cleared.
