Doctor Who (1963) 6.05.03

The Seeds of Death - Episode Three

It looks hopeless for the Doctor, Zoe, and Jamie but then they are contacted by Phipps. He tells them about what is going on and helps to guide them in and land on the Moon. The Doctor leaves Zoe and Jamie behind to look after the Rocket while he goes looking for Phipps.

Miss Kelly fixes T-Mat. The Ice Warriors reveal themselves. Miss Kelly's two assistants  try to run from the Ice Warriors and are killed. Miss Kelly agrees to do as they say.

The Doctor and Phipps go looking for the control room. They spot Miss Kelly being escorted by an Ice Warrior. The Ice Warrior comes after them. Miss Kelly escapes from it but the Doctor is captured and taken to the control room.

Zoe and Jamie get tired of waiting and go looking for the Doctor. They find Phipps and Miss Kelly. An Ice Warrior finds them in the Solar Storeroom. Phipps uses the device he used in the last episode and vaporizes the alien.

The Doctor finds out what the Ice Warriors are planning. They are going to use T-Mat to deliver deadly seed pods around the world. The Doctor gets too close to one of the seed pods when it releases its gas and he collapses.

The Ice Warriors order Fewsham to use T-Mat to deliver the first seed pod to Earth. It is found by Professor Eldred and Radnor.

Thoughts

I'm glad to see that Miss Kelly is still part of the story. It is kind of rare that there is woman who gets a somewhat significant part in the story who isn't one of the Doctor's companions. I think Robots of Death is the only such story in Season 14 .

The Ice Warriors aren't great but I suppose they could be worse.

The story keeps rolling. This isn't brilliant but I'm enjoying it.
