 Certainly, I'll provide a review of all four parts 
 of "Doctor Who: The Ribos Operation" based on the transcripts 
 from the website you provided. I'll evaluate the narrative, 
 character development, pacing, and overall impact 
 to rate each part out of 10. 
  
 Part One 
  
 Summary: 
 The Doctor is summoned by the White Guardian, 
 who tasks him with finding the six segments 
 of the Key to Time. He is paired with a new companion, 
 Romana, and sent to the planet Ribos. On Ribos, 
 they encounter conmen Garron and Unstoffe, 
 who are attempting to sell the planet 
 to the exiled warlord Graff Vynda-K. 
  
 Review: 
 Part One sets up the overarching plot 
 of the Key to Time season effectively. 
 The introduction of Romana and the mission 
 adds a fresh dynamic to the series. The setting on Ribos 
 is rich with detail, providing an intriguing backdrop. 
 The characters of Garron and Unstoffe add a layer 
 of complexity and humor. However, the episode 
 is primarily setup, so the action is somewhat limited. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Two 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana continue to investigate Ribos, 
 trying to locate the first segment of the Key to Time. 
 Unstoffe hides the segment, disguised as a valuable 
 mineral, while the Graff Vynda-K becomes increasingly 
 suspicious and violent. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Two builds on the intrigue and develops 
 the characters further. The relationship between 
 the Doctor and Romana begins to take shape, 
 showcasing their contrasting personalities. 
 The tension rises with the Graff Vynda-K's 
 increasing desperation. The episode balances 
 humor and danger well, although the pace slows down at times. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Three 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana search for the segment 
 in the catacombs beneath Ribos. Meanwhile, 
 Unstoffe is pursued by the Graff Vynda-K's forces. 
  The interplay between the various factions 
  adds complexity to the plot. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Three ramps up the action 
 and suspense as the search intensifies. 
 The catacombs provide a claustrophobic 
 and atmospheric setting. The character 
 development continues to shine, particularly 
 with Unstoffe's interactions with Binro, 
 the outcast who believes in the existence 
 of other worlds. This subplot adds emotional 
 depth to the story. However, some scenes 
 feel repetitive, slightly affecting the pacing. 
  
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Four 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Romana manage to retrieve the segment, 
 but not without a final confrontation with the Graff 
 Vynda-K. The conclusion wraps up the immediate 
 storyline while setting the stage for the rest 
 of the Key to Time arc. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Four delivers a satisfying conclusion 
 with a mix of action, resolution, and character moments. 
 The confrontation with the Graff Vynda-K is intense 
 and well-executed. The Doctor's cleverness 
 and Romana's competence are both highlighted, 
 solidifying their partnership. The resolution 
 ties up the episode's plot effectively while 
 maintaining interest for the ongoing quest. 
 Some plot elements are resolved quickly, 
 but overall, it's a strong finish. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Overall Rating and Final Thoughts 
  
 "The Ribos Operation" is a strong 
 start to the Key to Time season, 
 introducing compelling characters 
 and setting up an intriguing quest. 
 The blend of humour, drama, 
 and science fiction elements is well-balanced, 
 making it a memorable serial within the "Doctor Who" canon. 
 Here are the individual and overall ratings: 
  
     Part One: 8/10 
     Part Two: 8/10 
     Part Three: 8/10 
     Part Four: 8/10 
  
 Overall Rating: 8/10

 engaging characters, and intriguing plot 
 make "The Ribos Operation" a standout story in the series.
