| - You know it can be disappointing to watch old episodes of Dr. Who after having heard about them for so long. “Oh, I’ve heard this City of Death is supposed to be good, and everyone keeps mentioning Genesis Of The Daleks, so that must be good too!” Welcome to Disappointedville, population: (You) when you try to make it through The Space Museum, the seventh story from Season 2 of the already-flagging British science frictionless programme Dr. Who, originally broadcast in four parts between like 1964 and 1972 or something, I need to check on that to be sure. Not that anyone has ever suggested this story is as good as City Of Death or Genesis Of The Daleks, mind you. As was common back then, rather than being “one story in four parts,” this was presented as “four episodes” that each had their own title even though they tell one story. Confusing I know, but no one said this life was easy, so let’s start watching and try not to cringe too much.
