Love this one. Thinking on it, they could have messed up the design of the robots so easily, a la the 'Blake's 7' episode, 'Volcano'...... Thankfully they didn't. Also think David Collings is brilliant at conveying the sheer terror of his character. Probably one of my favourite stories ever.

There are better scripts perhaps but everything about this story works - acting, design, costumes etc.
Nitpicks:
We see Dask's pantaloons in episode 2 and his face converting SV7 in episode 3 - so we know he's behind it all.
D84 can be slightly annoying "I heard a cry, I heard a cry" etc
Leela squeaking at the end "will you please let me out"
9/10

The which box is bigger scene is very iconic. I think Tom’s Doctor explained it a lot better than William Hartnell’s.

"Please do not throw hands at me..." Oh I LOVE this story to this day and it's a very easy 10/10 for me!!! I kind of wish D84 could have been a companion, at least for a while as he/it would have been eternally curious, but intelligent and knowing his/its place when Tom's Doctor let his ego take over This story written for kiddies? DO leave off... P.S. Aren't we spoiled in later DVD releases with numerous extras. My DVD is from 2000 and it's almost bereft apart from a sparse commentary, when I'm sure there could be a lot more extras today.
