 Doctor Who: The Savages - A Brush with Barbarity on a Remote Planet 
  
 Based on the information from the provided website 
 [invalid URL the savages doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], 
 here's a review of Doctor Who: The Savages: 
  
 Story 
  
 The Doctor, Steven, and Dodo land on a remote planet 
 divided between two warring factions: the technologically 
 advanced Elders and the primitive Savages. 
 The Doctor  finds himself  caught  in  the  middle 
 of  this  conflict,  questioning  concepts  of  civilisation 
   and  savagery.  He must  try  to  mediate  between 
   the  two  sides  and  prevent  further  violence. 
  
 Review (Based on Summary) 
  
     Exploration of Social Commentary: The serial appears 
  to tackle themes of civilization versus savagery, 
  raising questions about perception and evolution. 
  This could add an interesting layer of social commentary 
  to the narrative. 
   
     Moral Dilemma: The Doctor finds himself in a position 
  where both sides have valid arguments, creating a moral 
  dilemma as he tries to find a peaceful resolution. 
   
     Classic Who's Limited Resources: The summary mentions 
  the use of costumes to represent the Savages, which 
  might seem dated by modern standards of special effects. 
  
 Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information): 
  
     Slow Pacing in Classic Who: Classic Doctor Who sometimes 
  featured a slower narrative pace compared to modern iterations. 
   
     Limited Companion Roles: The summary doesn't detail much 
  about Steven and Dodo's roles in the narrative. 
  
 Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope) 
  
 "The Savages"  presents  a  thought-provoking 
 premise  that  challenges  ideas  of  civilisation  and  savagery. 
 The  Doctor's  role  as  a  mediator  in  a  complex  conflict 
 adds  intrigue. 
  
 Would I Recommend Watching It? 
  
     For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10 
  (Likely worth watching especially if you enjoy stories 
  with social commentary and moral dilemmas) 
   
     For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The exploration 
  of ideas might be interesting, but the slower pace, 
  limited companion roles, and potentially dated special 
  effects could be drawbacks) 
  
 Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: 
  
     If possible, try to find reviews of the entire serial for 
  a more complete picture. 
   
     Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. 
  If you're new to classic Who, consider watching earlier stories 
  featuring the First Doctor to get a feel for the era's aesthetics 
  and storytelling before diving into "The Savages". 
  
 I hope this helps!  If you can find more information 
 about the entire serial, I can provide a more comprehensive review.
