Television review in the Australian Women's Weekly, Wednesday 24 March 1965, page 18. The fifth serial of the second season of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Written by Australian Bill Strutton and directed by Richard Martin, the serial was broadcast on BBC1 in six weekly parts from 13 February to 20 March 1965. Colour images shown of Bill Strutton, the Menoptera, and the Zarbi.

I only wish they budgeted a bit more for the costumes. It's not as good as it could be. #DrWho #TheWebPlanet

After a short break I’m returning to my #DoctorWho rewatch.

The Doctor and co have escaped Rome, and have become snared by the pull of Vortis. What is lurking at the centre? What are the Zarbi?

We will find out…

This is the card that made me fall in love with this set, a deep cut reference to #TheWebPlanet, which I'd go so far as to call my fav #FirstDoctor story. It's padded and drawn out like most 6-parters but I don't even mind, it's all such a fever dream. (1/3)

New video! The latest in my Doctor Who bird revelations. Let's just say the Tardis does a lot more than merely lip sync when it translates.

New reads: escaping a little through two First Doctor adventures, which I've just re-watched for the first time in years as I slowly work through the Season Two box set.

A couple of image grabs from the same story containing Optera. Now there's a contrast.

around mid-November I started #DoctorWho from the pilot. Have now got through all the dodgy semi-historical ones (Nero is a hoot) and have reached #TheWebPlanet, with some of the best costume design of the early serials. Ant men and bee men
