The Green Death - Episode 5

Some great fun as the Doctor torments the BOSS with his flippancy and stubbornness. It looks like Jon Pertwee is having fun here. There's some appalling modelwork of Bessie driving across the maggot field, and terrible CSO of the Doctor and Benton in Bessie. Also, the ground outside the cave where Jo and Professor Jones hide does not hide its studio origins well at all. And why are there suddenly some outdoor scenes with the Brigadier and Benton and UNIT at the maggot field that were shot in studio instead of film? Odd. Poor Mike Yates, brainwashed then captured again. The blue crystal of Metebelis 3 shows its power for the first time here, too.
