Doctor Who: The Planet of Evil - A Divided Narrative
(Based on [[invalid URL removed] Who/13-2.htm]([invalid URL removed] Who/13-2.htm))

The website you provided only offers details on the first episode,
but here's a review of "The Planet of Evil" based on the available
information:

A Story of Two Halves

The Doctor (Tom Baker) and Sarah Jane Smith arrive on Zeta Minor,
a seemingly peaceful frontier planet with a research base.
However, tensions rise as the Doctor uncovers a secret:
the planet is harvesting antimatter,
a powerful and dangerous energy source.

Strengths:

Intriguing Premise: The concept of antimatter adds a layer
of scientific intrigue to the narrative. The potential consequences
of harnessing such power create a sense of danger.

Atmospheric Setting: The jungle sets and the research base
on Zeta Minor create a unique and suspenseful environment.
The first two episodes, according to the website,
are praised for their eerie atmosphere.

Potential Weaknesses:

Uneven Pacing (based on website): Reviews suggest that
the initial two episodes excel in atmosphere
but might lack plot development. The concern is that
the latter half might not live up to the initial intrigue.

Supporting Cast: The website hints that the supporting characters
might be underdeveloped. A bland supporting cast can detract
from the overall narrative.

Overall Impression:

"The Planet of Evil" seems to be a story with a promising premise
and a captivating atmosphere. However, the uneven pacing
and potentially weak supporting characters could hold the serial back.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars (based solely on the first episode)

For a more comprehensive review, consider these options:

Search for reviews that cover all four parts of the serial.

Look for reviews that mention specific aspects you're interested in,
such as the resolution of the antimatter plot,
the development of the supporting characters,
and the overall effectiveness of the atmosphere.

Consider reviews from both classic Who fans and those
accustomed to the new Who style.

This will help you decide if the potential strengths of "The Planet of Evil" outweigh the reported weaknesses.
