 Certainly, I'll provide a review of all four parts 
 of "Doctor Who: The Pirate Planet" based on the transcripts 
 from the website you provided. I'll assess the narrative, 
 character development, pacing, and overall impact 
 to rate each part out of 10. 
  
 Part One 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana arrive on the planet Calufrax, 
 only to find it missing. They discover that it has been 
 shrunk and hidden within another planet, Zanak, 
 which is controlled by the tyrannical Captain 
 and the sinister Cyborg. The Doctor and Romana 
 begin to unravel the mystery of Zanak's unusual operations. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part One introduces an intriguing premise 
 with the disappearance of Calufrax 
 and the revelation of Zanak's sinister operations. 
 The world-building is imaginative, with a blend 
 of science fiction and fantasy elements. 
 The dynamic between the Doctor and Romana 
 continues to evolve, showcasing their intelligence 
 and resourcefulness. However, some of the comedic 
 elements may feel dated or forced. 
  
 Rating: 7/10 
  
 Part Two 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana continue their investigation 
 on Zanak, uncovering more about the planet's nefarious 
  activities. They encounter the Mentiads, 
  a group of rebels led by the enigmatic Mr. Fibuli, 
  who seek to overthrow the oppressive regime. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Two delves deeper into the mysteries of Zanak 
  and introduces the compelling subplot of the Mentiads' 
  rebellion. The world-building expands, providing insight 
  into the planet's society and power structures. 
  The introduction of the Mentiads adds depth to the storyline, 
  with their struggle against oppression resonating thematically. 
  However, the pacing feels uneven at times, with certain scenes 
  dragging on. 
  
 Rating: 7/10 
  
 Part Three 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana join forces with the Mentiads 
 to thwart the Captain's plans and liberate Zanak 
 from his control. They uncover the truth about 
 the planet's origins and the sinister force behind its operations. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Three ramps up the action and tension as the Doctor 
 and Romana lead the rebellion against the Captain. 
 The revelations about Zanak's origins 
 and the true nature of the Cyborg add depth to the storyline. 
 The resolution of the conflict is satisfying, 
 with the Doctor's cleverness and Romana's bravery 
 shining through. However, some of the special effects 
  may appear dated by modern standards. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Four 
  
 Summary: 
  
 In the final part, the Doctor confronts 
 the true mastermind behind Zanak's operations 
 and uncovers their diabolical plan. With the help 
 of Romana and the Mentiads, he races against time 
 to stop the destruction of countless worlds. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Four delivers an exciting and action-packed 
  conclusion to the storyline. The stakes are high 
  as the Doctor battles against a formidable 
  adversary and races to prevent catastrophe. 
  The character development of Romana 
  and the Doctor is particularly strong, 
  showcasing their growth and determination. 
  The resolution ties up the loose ends satisfactorily, 
  providing a sense of closure to the story arc. 
  However, some elements of the plot may feel rushed, 
  and the resolution relies heavily on technobabble. 
  
 Rating: 8/10
