purplecat: The Tardis against a sunset (or possibly sunrise) (Doctor Who)
I was excited when this one popped up out of the randomizer. It was one of the two stories recovered last autumn and released on iTunes in time for the 50th anniversary. I opted to watch the other, The Web of Fear, for my birthday because Brigadier and because I had hugely fond memories of the novelisation, but this one seemed to be pretty highly rated by many other commenters at the time and I was eager to see what it had to offer.

In some ways Enemy of the World is a forerunner of the Earth-based, more thriller-ish stories, we were to get in the Pertwee era. However its global locations give it a feeling of a wider view and greater ambition, and it is pleasing that the production, mostly, manages to match that. Web of Fear however, is just as good in terms of production and acting, has an equally strong, albeit more traditional, script and it has the Yeti and the Brigadier in it.
