I think I love the eeriness of that first episode a little bit more than the four episodes that follow it, but overall I think this is one of the best stories of all time - although Uncle Terrance Dicks, of course, never liked it, feeling that fantasy in 'Doctor Who' doesn't work.

Beyond the first episode (which I thought was pretty decent) I always found it a bit childish, silly and cheap. I know it has its fans but I don't know what all the fuss is about it.

I can't think of another story that the episodes get progressively worse:
Ep 1 - 9/10
Ep 2 - 8/10
Ep 3 - 7.5/10
Ep 4 - 6/10
Ep 5 - 5/10
I like Wendy Padbury as Zoe in later stories but she is bloody irritating in this and the less said about the Karkus the better.
7/10 overall.

It's refreshing not to just hear universal love for this story.
I thought I was in a membership club of 1 that found The Mind Robber quite dull and childish. I'm not even much of a fan of the celebrated off-the-wall opening episode.
One thing I will say in its favour is that it's certainly nothing like any other classic Who story. It is unique.

I can't lie, I'm not a fan of The Mind Robber - though one day I still hope to re-watch and re-evaluate it and completely change my mind. However, I do mostly enjoy Episode 1 - especially those cool white robots.
5/10

Oh do I have to? My mind is a mes as it is, without this series messing further with it. Confusing back then and bloody irritating now, I might watch the final episode - possibly

Someone on Twitter spotted this in Episode 1. I'll keep me eye out for it if I ever get round to watching it again.
