Doctor Who and the Silurians - Episode 1

It's still strange seeing this story in color. My old Betas from PBS airings were in black and white. The Restoration Team does another good job returning the color to the story. Our first sight of Bessie, the Doctor's new car! And Liz insists on continuing her mini-skirted-scientist look. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Also we see Peter Miles, great as always, in what I believe is his first Doctor Who role. While we don't see any actual Silurians in this episode, we do see some really good drawings of them on the hospital room wall thanks to that crazy guy. The Doctor goes spelunking and gets frightened by a crappy-looking dinosaur. Which, if memory serves, is the series' first, but defnitely not last, crappy dinosaur.
