 "Doctor and the Silurians" is a seven-part serial 
 from the Jon Pertwee era, originally broadcast in 1970. 
 Here's a review primarily based on the script provided on chakoteya.net: 
  
 Episode 1: The TARDIS arrives at a research center where mysterious 
 power losses have been occurring. The tension builds as the Doctor 
 investigates, uncovering a hidden underground cave system. 
 The introduction effectively sets up the premise and establishes 
 the atmosphere of mystery. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor encounters the Silurians, 
 ancient reptilian creatures who once ruled the Earth. 
 Their awakening poses a threat not only to the research 
 center but to humanity itself. The stakes are raised, 
  and the conflict intensifies. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Doctor and UNIT continue to investigate 
 the Silurian threat, but tensions rise between the military 
 and the scientists. The character dynamics are well-developed, 
 adding depth to the narrative. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 4: The Silurians launch an attack, leading to 
 a thrilling confrontation. The action sequences are engaging, 
 and the sense of danger is palpable. However, the pacing feels 
 somewhat uneven. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 5: The Doctor tries to negotiate a peace treaty 
 between humanity and the Silurians, but internal conflicts 
 threaten to derail his efforts. The moral dilemmas faced 
 by the characters add complexity to the story. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 6: Tensions reach a boiling point as the Silurians 
 and humans clash in a final showdown. The Doctor must find 
 a way to prevent a full-scale war while uncovering 
 the truth behind the Silurians' awakening. The resolution 
 is satisfying, though some may find it slightly rushed. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 7: The climax of the story sees the Silurians 
 and humanity facing the consequences of their actions. 
 The Doctor is forced to make difficult choices, 
 leading to a poignant conclusion. The character development 
  is well-handled, and the ending leaves a lasting impact. 
  Rating: 8/10 
  
 Overall, "Doctor and the Silurians" is a thought-provoking 
 Doctor Who serial that explores themes of conflict, morality, 
 and coexistence. The script provides a solid foundation 
 for the story, and the performances are strong throughout. 
 While some episodes suffer from pacing issues, the overall 
 experience is engaging and memorable. Overall Rating: 7.8/10
