YMMV / Doctor Who S1 E3 "The Edge of Destruction"

• Broken Base: One of the most divisive serials of the show's early years- is it a masterpiece of tense psychological horror and in-depth character development, or is it a load of nonsensical twaddle with a truly ridiculous and anticlimactic reason for everything (a stuck spring)?
• Signature Scene: Susan threatening Ian and Barbara with a pair of scissors before using them to stab a matress.
• Special Effects Failure: Merely putting the camera out of focus to suggest a melting clock doesn't quite carry the idea across. Richard Martin, the director, later said that he'd have steam pouring out of the clock if he'd had the budget.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Between the haunted house tropes, generally creepy atmosphere and Susan wildly stabbing a bed with scissors. Not to mention attacking Ian and Barbara with them.
