Advantages: It's available for a bargain price and it's littered with extras
Disadvantages: William Hartnell (the First Doctor) isn't in it very much

...in 1973. Jon Pertwee was Doctor at the time and this reunited the show with its original Doctor (Hartnell) and second Doctor (Patrick Troughton). William Hartnell was ill at the time of filming with arteriosclerosis, and that is the reason you do not see much of him in the story. But do not let that put you off.

The Nexus 6 which was just out to destroy the happily living humans was now being destroyed by the Deckard to 3 of them left and this was the hard target. I was so curious as to know how soon he was going to do this or if he was going to quit the job as he had initially wanted. When he(Deckard ) was almost ...
...this guy in the head, made things in the life of him. He was to kill this girl but after few shots of vodka, found that he loves this girl. I was like oh my God what is he doing? you are gonna get killed. But i was wrong because the whole thing changed.
