This starts really well but becomes less interesting as it progresses. Our TARDIS Team are all fine but the supporting cast weak. I’ve seen it a couple times so warched it with the commentary. Big mistake. Peter Purves is on it for some reason & feels the need to dominate the whole thing & basically shit all over the story. Comes across as a nasty man. One of the worst audio commentaries I’ve ever listened to.

I agree about Purves on the commentary. I don’t think he meant to be mean but it definitely comes across as rather nasty and you can audibly hear Maureen O’Brien give up trying to be positive about it. It doesn’t help that Glyn Jones is just as negative. It really put me off Purves for a while.

I’ve seen Purves at a couple BFI events. He clearly loved Hartnell but can’t resist little digs at the current show. Unnecessary Peter.

A lot of People say “An Unearthly Child” starts out amazing and then drops. Well, this is basically it for me. Episode 1 here is stellar and one of the very best from Hartnells Era. Sadly the rest is just very much whatever, some great Ideas and some great Moments, but pretty forgettable in my Eyes. It’s not bad, just very much whatever, and easily the weak spot of a stellar Season 2. A shame, this one had much more potential in my Eyes.

It’s alright. Started out strong but kind of fizzles out. A solid 6/10 for me.
