 "Doctor Who: Carnival of Monsters" is a four-part serial 
 from the Jon Pertwee era, originally broadcast in 1973. 
 Here's a review primarily based on the script provided on chakoteya.net: 
  
 Episode 1: The Doctor and Jo find themselves trapped in a Miniscope, 
 a device that contains miniaturized environments and creatures. 
 The episode effectively sets up the premise 
 and introduces the main characters, 
 including the operators of the Miniscope 
 and the various inhabitants within it. 
 The tension builds as the Doctor and Jo 
 try to understand their predicament and find a way out. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 2: The Doctor and Jo explore the different environments 
 within the Miniscope, encountering various creatures 
 and dangers along the way. Meanwhile, the operators 
 of the Miniscope face their own challenges as they try to keep 
 their business running. The character dynamics are well-developed, 
 and the moral dilemmas faced by the characters add complexity 
 to the story. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 3: The Doctor and Jo uncover a plot to assassinate 
 an alien ambassador within the Miniscope, leading to a race 
 against time to prevent disaster. The action sequences 
 are engaging, and the stakes feel higher as the true 
 threat becomes apparent. The suspense continues 
 to build as the Doctor gets closer to uncovering 
 the truth. Rating: 8/10 
  
 Episode 4: The climax of the story sees the Doctor 
 and Jo facing off against the villains within the 
 Miniscope in a final showdown. The resolution is 
 satisfying, though some may find it slightly rushed. 
 The episode ends on a hopeful note, 
 with the Doctor and Jo escaping from the Miniscope 
 and continuing their adventures. Rating: 7/10 
  
 Overall, "Carnival of Monsters" is a unique Doctor Who 
 serial that explores the concept of a pocket universe 
 containing various alien creatures and environments. 
 Jon Pertwee delivers a charismatic performance 
 as the Doctor, and Katy Manning shines as Jo Grant. 
 The story is imaginative and entertaining, 
 with plenty of twists and turns to keep 
 viewers engaged. While some episodes 
 suffer from pacing issues, the overall 
 experience is enjoyable and memorable. 
 Overall Rating: 7.75/10
