Just out of interest. I think Turn Left is far superior to Planet of the Spiders. I consider Spiders to be Pertwee's worst story with Carnival of Monsters next.

Yet both those third Doctor stories are far superior to the likes of Hell Bent, Nightmare in Silver, Eaters of Light, Fear Her, Sleep No More, 42, The Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, The Girl Who Lived, The Woman Who Died, Kill the Moon, Robot of Sherwood and Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

'Planet Of The Spiders' is a great 4 part story
