5. The Keys of Marinus

Keys was one of the surviving stories that I had never seen before a few days ago.

This 6-episode story is unlike most DW stories -- it is like a series of short stories that are connected by an overarching goal...the collection of the Keys of Marinus. It is a cool idea but for the most part it doesn't achieve its ambitious goals. The problem with the story is that each individual episode are just over 20 minutes long and you can't tell a good DW story from start to finish in that short of time. It may have worked better as a series of 3, two-episode stories that could flesh the unconnected plots together better.

Despite that criticism I did enjoy the story for the most part.

Ranking: 6/10 (average)
