I have been thinking about this for a while, i honestly think that the first part of An Unearthly Child is one of the best openings to any science fiction show. When it comes to the first episode of a science fiction show, they need to introduce the world of the series as the main cast and their dynamic going foward. When i was watching the Doctor Who marathon it made me realise just how efficent and effective it is in introducing the Doctor,The Tardis,Susan,Ian and Barbaba all in 22 minutes Plus i think an Unearthly Child has a fantastic atmosphere with the use of the fog making the whole thing feeling mysterious and otherworldly. As for why i am just stating the first part rather than the whole serial is simply because outside of the First Party - the rest of the serial is okay but nothing special. To me the first part of an Unearthly Child is one of the best TV Science Fiction Openers. I am curious if you agree or disagree with me on this?
