An Unearthly Child 4 - The Firemaker

The episode where we find that cavemen have no knowledge of forensics. We're not going to see CSI: Gum Tribe in a hurry.

We see the first example of the Doctor using his smarts to get what he needs. Generally this is much better than I remember, maybe my memory of this whole story was tainted by how awful The Cave of Skulls was. But the characters in this are engaging, they have reasons for what they do, and of course we get to see cavemen fighting in a disco... Or at least there seems to be a strobe light anyway.

I'm interested by the next ones, I've never really managed to sit through The Daleks before and I know it's plot primarily from the film version.
