 "Doctor Who - The Moonbase" is a classic four-part serial from the Fourth 
 Season of the original series, originally aired in 1967. In this story, the 
 Second Doctor and his companions find themselves on a moonbase 
 in the year 2070, where they confront a deadly threat from the Cybermen. 
  
 Episode 1 sets up the premise effectively, introducing the futuristic 
 setting 
 of the moonbase and establishing tension with the discovery of mysterious 
 silver creatures lurking in the shadows. The Cybermen's return as the 
 primary 
 antagonists adds a sense of menace and raises the stakes for the Doctor 
 and his companions. 
  
 Throughout the serial, the Cybermen are portrayed with chilling 
 effectiveness, 
 emphasising their emotionless nature and relentless pursuit of their goals. 
 The 
 design of the Cybermen is particularly striking, showcasing their iconic 
 silver 
 suits and distinctive voices. 
  
 "The Moonbase" benefits from strong pacing, with each episode building upon 
 the 
 tension and escalating the threat posed by the Cybermen. The serial also 
 features memorable moments of suspense and drama, 
 keeping viewers engaged from start to finish. 
  
 The characterisation of the Doctor and his companions is well-handled, with 
 Patrick Troughton delivering a charismatic and resourceful performance as 
 the 
 Second Doctor. The interactions between the Doctor, Jamie, Ben, and Polly 
 add 
 depth to the story and highlight the importance of teamwork in overcoming 
 adversity. 
  
 Overall, "Doctor Who - The Moonbase" is a classic serial that successfully 
 combines elements of science fiction, horror, and adventure. While some 
 aspects 
 of the production may feel dated by modern standards, the serial remains a 
 compelling and entertaining watch for fans of classic Doctor Who.
