3. The Edge of Destruction

This episode is quite a disappointment.

It is basically a low-budget episode designed with cost savings in mind -- and let's be honest, if there is one thing classic Doctor Who didn't need was a lower budget episode.

The entire episode basically takes place in the Console Room and is an all-out fight between the Doctor and Barbara & Ian. Everyone is acting strangely and nothing makes a lot of sense until about 2 minutes to go in the story when they realize that the TARDIS is making everyone act insane. Much like the explanation for Bad Wolf some 45 years later it doesn't make a lot of sense but I'm not going to waste too much time being negative. This is about the good, not the bad.

With that I render my verdict...

Ranking 3/10 (failure)
