 Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones - A Global Conspiracy with the Second Doctor 
  
 Based on the information from the website [invalid URL the faceless ones 
 doctor who ON Chakoteya.net], here's a review 
 of Doctor Who: The Faceless Ones: 
  
 Story 
  
 The TARDIS materializes at Gatwick Airport, where the Doctor 
 (Second Doctor) and companions Polly and Jamie witness a  murder. 
 Their  investigation  leads  them  to  Chameleon  Tours, 
 a  seemingly  legitimate  travel  company  with  a  dark  secret. 
 The  narrative  unravels  a  conspiracy  involving  alien 
 shapeshifters  who  plan  to  replace  human  leaders 
 and  take  over  Earth. 
  
 Review (Mostly Missing Serial): 
  
     Earth Invasion Plot: "The Faceless Ones" presents a 
  large-scale threat of alien invasion disguised as human 
  infiltration. This could be interesting for fans of global 
  conspiracy stories. 
   
     Modern Setting: The serial takes place on contemporary 
  Earth (1967), offering a familiar backdrop for the Doctor's 
  adventure. This might appeal to viewers who prefer stories 
  set in their own time. 
   
     Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary 
  doesn't detail much about the development of the Doctor, 
  Polly, or Jamie. 
   
     Mostly Missing: Unfortunately, only the first 
  and last episodes of "The Faceless Ones" survive 
  in the BBC archives. Experiencing the complete 
  narrative is not possible through watching the original episodes. 
  
 Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope): 
  
 "The Faceless Ones"  has  an  intriguing  premise 
 with  a  global  invasion  threat.  The  modern  Earth 
 setting  might  be  appealing  to  some  viewers. 
 However,  the  incompleteness  of  the  serial 
 is  a  major  drawback. 
  
 Would I Recommend Watching It? 
  
     For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 4/10 
  (Only recommended if you have access to reconstructions 
  of the missing episodes and are comfortable 
  with incomplete stories. The global conspiracy plot 
  and modern setting might be interesting) 
   
     For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 2/10 (The concept might 
  hold some vague interest, but the incompleteness 
  and slower pace of classic Who could be significant disadvantages) 
  
 Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide: 
  
     If possible, try to find reviews based on reconstructions 
  of "The Faceless Ones" to get a better idea of the complete 
  story's enjoyability. 
     Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series. 
  If you're new to classic Who, consider watching other stories 
  featuring the Second Doctor to get a feel for the era's 
  aesthetics and storytelling before diving into "The Faceless Ones". 
  
 I hope this helps!  While  "The Faceless Ones"  has  an  interesting 
 plot  idea,  the  missing  episodes  make  it  a  difficult 
 recommendation  for  casual  viewers.
