Silurians is a brilliant story. It perfectly shows how lost the Doctor is in this alien environment (he's not from Earth after all) after being exiled by the Time Lords. It was an ingenious move to have this kind of story to properly kick off the stuck on Earth era. Him being stuck between humans and Silurians and desperately trying to make peace and tragically being unable to do so is brilliant.The real knife in the heart moment is the fact that the Brigadier, someone he thought he could trust and thought was better than that, betrayed him. What happened here is a reality check for the Doctor. He realises that he doesn't really understand humans (even the ones he considers friends) and their complex political situations all that well. The problem is that he's now stuck here! He has to deal with all this shit for the foreseeable future. This story is an excellent set up for the rest of Pertwee's era. I really do love how they slowly build up the Brigadier going more and more against the Doctor and wanting to take action throughout this story. It makes his actions at the end that much more believable and even understandable. I totally see why the Brigadier felt he had to destroy the Silurians after what they did, but I also completely understand the Doctor's disgust because not all of the Silurians were actually bad. And no matter the Brigadier's reasoning, the way he went about it is in no way justifiable. There was a chance, no matter how slim, for peace if the humans and Silurians just agreed to talk! The way this story presents all sides in a very morally grey kind of way is brilliant. It doesn't beat you over the head by telling you what's wrong or right. It asks the viewer to make up their own mind, makes them think. One of the best stories ever.

Thanks for another great reaction! I'm sure you've been inundated with offers for the colour Ambassadors episodes, but if not I could try and have a go at ripping the relevant episodes from my DVD copy and Dropboxing them over or something?

She's probably already watched the first two parts at this point, but it's worth it for the last five parts at least.

It's only two out of the seven she could only find in black-and-white, and for obvious reasons we know that won't include part one at least.
