Mini-Reviews and Quotes:

"This story has a lot going for it, including some interesting concepts and, proving that aliens are not always monstrous, the rather charming Sensorites. The drawback is that it doesn't fully sustain its six episode length." - The Handbook: The First Doctor, by Howe, Stammers, and Walker (Virgin: 1994)

The Brian Review:

I must confess that I don't know jack about The Sensorites! The episode does exist in the BBC archives, but it's never been released on video (I told you Hartnell was under-appreciated), so I've never seen it. I do dig the Sensorites' makeup, though, and their huge round feet.
