 "Doctor Who: The Space Pirates" is a Doctor Who serial from 
  the Patrick Troughton era, originally broadcast in 1969. 
  Here's a review of the serial: 
  
 Episode 1: The story starts with the Doctor, Jamie, 
 and Zoe arriving on a space beacon where they encounter 
 a mysterious group of space pirates. The introduction 
 sets up an intriguing premise, but the pacing feels 
 somewhat slow. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor and his companions continue 
 to investigate the disappearance of a missing Earth 
 cargo ship and encounter various characters, including 
 the ruthless space pirate Caven. The tension begins 
 to build, but the story feels somewhat disjointed. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Doctor and his companions are separated, 
 and they each face their own challenges while trying 
 to uncover the truth behind the space pirate operation. 
 The plot progresses, but some scenes feel drawn out. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Episode 4: The climax of the story sees the Doctor 
 and his allies devising a plan to stop the space pirates 
 and rescue the captured spaceship. The action sequences 
 are engaging, but the resolution feels somewhat rushed. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Overall, "The Space Pirates" is considered one of the weaker 
 serials of the Second Doctor era. While it has an interesting 
 premise and some moments of excitement, the pacing 
 is inconsistent, and the story lacks the depth 
 and cohesion found in other serials of the era. 
 The absence of existing footage for most 
 of the episodes also hampers the viewing experience. 
 Overall Rating: 6.25/10
