I love this series so far... But Susan's constant screaming is really starting to get on my nerves -_-

8:15 Ian cops a feel.

Don't worry, Susan's actress was in her twenties.

@Leuopold The wibbley lever indeed! Fantastic! haha

[Leuopold]

@actressmusic Terrific!, I was just going to say imagine Italy, or a shoe. No wait, forget Italy. Just use the wibbley lever.

[actressmusic]

@Leuopold Thanks! That makes sense. (You know you've seen too much Doctor Who when an answer like that makes sense... Oh well. I love the show too much to stop! haha)

[Leuopold]

Best Hartnell episode ever.

@actressmusic The time vortex manipulator created a resonance feedback loop in the fabric of space time, directly interfering with the synapses of the mind, much like the anthropoids on Traxton 5.

[actressmusic]

Maybe I just missed something, but was anybody else waiting for some more explanation other than "the button was stuck?" Why did Ian try to choke the Doctor? Why was Susan going crazy with the scissors? I was expecting an alien to have been possessing them or something...

Is it just me or does this remind anyone else of the original Star Trek episode Naked Time?
