This story has 6 Episodes in it and was aired from: 8 August–12 September 1964.
Thoughtful, genteel, and afraid of the dark, The Sensorites were never going to be as popular as other Doctor Who aliens such as the Daleks, Cybermen or Sontarans. Yet the issues explored in this story were arguably pivotal in the moral and ethical development of the Doctor's character, and of Doctor Who itself.
In 2008 episode Planet of the Ood the Doctor mentions that the Ood -Sphere is a near neighbour of the Sensorites home world. The Ood and the Sensorites share common characteristics: Essentially intellectual and gentle being, they reveal the true nature of the human beings who come into contact with them.
Official Synopsis:
The Doctor and his companions land on a spaceship orbiting a distant and mysterious world, where a human crew lie frozen somewhere between life and death. The planet is the Sense-Sphere, home of the Sensorites, beings of immense intelligence and power. Unable to leave, the Doctor and his companions must deduce the Sensorites' intentions: Are they friendly, hostile, or frightened? And what is the deadly secret at the heart of the Sense-Sphere?
My Opinion:
I enjoyed the first 3 episodes it has mystery and a little chilling, but once we meet the Sensorites the story falls off abit and isn't as interesting when they go down to the planet.
My Rating:
7/10
