I binge watched this, having heard of it, but never having seen any of the series previously. I may be wrong, but I imagine this was made on a show string, it proves that a lot can be made, from very, very little. Sure the production values were a little ropey, and at times the acting is a little flat, but there is something fairly magical about it. The story is incredible, the characters are huge and interesting. It's the originality of the series that makes it so deserving of such a high score, I can imagine kids back in the fifties were terrified. It begs the question, how much did it influence Doctor Who.
