An Unearthly Child 3 - The Forest of Fear

This is a much better episode, likely because it's not just a bunch of cavemen arguing about fire and has some actual action in it.

It's interesting to see The Doctor is not yet The Doctor yet... He's a coward and has no interest in saving people, and it's the humans who are brave and kind. This adds weight to the theory that The Doctor learned to be better from Ian and Barbara. But most certainly not yet. This is the episode where he famously was only just stopped bashing Za's head in with a rock.

The clearly looped animal noises are hella annoying though, it has to be said.
