 "Doctor Who: The Terrors of the Autons" is a four-part serial 
 from the Jon Pertwee era, originally broadcast in 1971. 
 Here's a review primarily based on the script provided on chakoteya.net: 
  
 Episode 1: The Doctor, now exiled to Earth, encounters the Master 
 for the first time since his exile. The Autons, plastic dummies 
 animated by the Nestene Consciousness, are introduced as a deadly 
 threat. The episode effectively sets up the premise and reintroduces 
  the main characters, including the Doctor's new companion, Jo Grant. 
  The tension builds as the Autons begin their attacks. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor and UNIT investigate the Autons' activities, 
 uncovering the Master's involvement. The action sequences are engaging, 
 and the stakes feel higher as the Doctor realizes the full extent 
 of the threat. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Master's plan begins to unfold as he uses the Autons 
 to sow chaos and destruction. The Doctor races against time to stop him, 
 leading to some thrilling confrontations. The character dynamics 
 are well-handled, and the suspense continues to build. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 4: The climax of the story sees the Doctor facing off 
 against the Master and the Autons in a final showdown. The resolution 
 is satisfying, though some may find it slightly rushed. The episode 
 sets up future conflicts between the Doctor and the Master, 
 hinting at the rivalry to come. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Overall, "The Terrors of the Autons" is a solid Doctor Who 
 serial that reintroduces the Master and the Autons as formidable 
 adversaries. Jon Pertwee delivers a charismatic performance 
 as the Doctor, and the dynamic between him and Jo Grant 
 adds depth to the narrative. While some episodes suffer 
 from pacing issues, the overall experience is enjoyable 
 and sets the stage for future adventures. Overall Rating: 7.75/10
