Doctor Who: The Space Pirates

This story is six parts, and all but one of the episodes is missing. Fortunately, this is the last story with missing episodes. It does make it hard to follow, though. I watched a reconstruction with photos and audio.


One of the people from Earth Space Corps has an American accent. It's the kind of American accent that tells you he ISN'T American. It's almost distracting. I'm not sure why they made that decision. Anyway, there are space pirates, the crew is separated from the TARDIS, and intrigue is all around.

Next time: the last story of the Troughton era.
