[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 420332, member: 8"] Next disc is [I]The Keys Of Marinus[/I] [ATTACH type="full"]55760[/ATTACH] My grandfather's name was Marinus. The Tardis crew arrives on a seemingly lovely island but soon they find out there's something fishy going on. Susan almost loses her feet in acid and when they explore a big building they all mysteriously disappear inside the walls. And that's just the beginning! It's a very entertaining story that takes the characters to various places on planet Marinus: a make-believe land, an angry jungle land, a boobytrap land, ice cube land - it could have been Epcot Center. It also has various villains and plot twists, and the trial episode neatly bookends the theme of law and justice as it was explained by the Keeper Of The Conscience at the beginning of the story. The physical action is...hmm, so-so but I guess that has everything to do with the budget and the deadline to finish recording in time. The Doctor doesn't appear in every episode but I think the scenes are crowded enough. This is like going through a second childhood and sometimes I think about the kids who watched this on "live" TV in the 1960s. That must have been amazing. [/QUOTE]
