Doctor Who - The Web of Fear. Only the second time I've seen this since its miraculous return from non-existence two years ago. The Doctor, Jamie and Victoria arrive in the London Underground only to find London evacuated and the army roaming the Underground - as are a terrifying lethal web/fungus and killer robot Yeti! This is a fantastic story with a wonderful atmosphere of claustrophobic menace at every turn. If I have a complaint, the ending does seem a little anti-climactic, but this is a six-parter that flies by at a cracking pace and is compelling stuff. One of Troughton's best.
