#Planet of the Spiders

This brings the Third Doctor’s Era to a close. Although my personal preference so far has been the 2nd Doctor (Space Hobo has my heart) this doctor brought some gravitas to the role and pushed it into the realm of mythology. All the while remaining quite silly. 

Planet of the Spiders was very ambitious in some respects in examining what makes the Doctor tick, his fears, a bit of his past and the consequence of some of his actions. The Spiders, the meditation and the future humans were mostly ho-hum but Pertwee and Sladen made it very watchable.

Ahhh next week I start the Baker Era!
