 "Doctor Who: Colony in Space" is a six-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 and Jo are summoned by the Time Lords 
 to investigate a distress signal from a human colony on the planet 
 Uxarieus. The episode effectively sets up the premise and introduces 
 the main characters, including the colonists and their adversaries, 
 the Interplanetary Mining Corporation (IMC). The tension builds 
 as the Doctor and Jo uncover the conflicts and dangers on the planet. 
 Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor and Jo explore the colony and discover the struggles 
 faced by the colonists, including conflicts with the IMC and a mysterious 
 alien race, the Primitives. The character dynamics are well-developed, 
 and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters add complexity to the story. 
 Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Doctor investigates the source of the colonists' troubles, 
 leading to a confrontation with the IMC and the Primitives. Meanwhile, 
 tensions rise among the colonists as they struggle to survive. 
 The action sequences are engaging, and the stakes feel higher 
 as the Doctor gets closer to uncovering the truth. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 4: The Doctor and Jo find themselves caught in the middle 
 of the conflict between the colonists, the IMC, and the Primitives. 
 The suspense continues to build as the true nature of the Primitives 
 is revealed, adding depth to the story. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Episode 5: The climax of the story sees the Doctor 
 and the colonists launching a final assault on the IMC 
 and the Primitives. The resolution is satisfying, though 
 some may find it slightly rushed. The episode sets up 
 future conflicts between the Doctor and other alien threats, 
 hinting at the ongoing struggle to protect humanity. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Episode 6: The Doctor and Jo bid farewell to the colonists 
 and return to the TARDIS. The emotional impact is poignant, 
 and the ending leaves a sense of hope for the future. 
 While some episodes suffer from pacing issues, the overall experience 
 is enjoyable and sets the stage for future adventures. Rating: 6/10 
  
 Overall, "Colony in Space" is a solid Doctor Who serial that explores 
 themes of colonisation, exploitation, and survival. 
 Jon Pertwee delivers a strong 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 thought-provoking. 
  Overall Rating: 6.5/10
