Classic Hartnell
The Tardis lands on a spaceship orbiting an alien planet- home to the sensorites who have attacked the crew using their mental powers, keeping them captive for several years. As the Doctor and his companions themselves come under attack, the locking mechanism of the Tardis is stolen. In order to retrieve it, the Doctor and his companions must first convince the sensorites of their peaceful intentions.

More evenly paced than the Keys of Marinus, this is a classic first Doctor, essentially a detective story with the Doctor's scientific knowledge driving it forward. The sub-plot of treason and a power-struggle within the sensorite elite is also well presented and even the occasional fluffed line only adds to its charm.
