Season 7@ 50. The
speed at which episode 1 played out hardly slows for the second part. This
episode is a particular example of clear scripting that avoids too many scenes
of people talking about what they will do instead cutting straight to us seeing
them doing it. Any potential gaps are covered by lines of dialogue after the
fact. For example there is no scene where people find out the Doctor has gone
down to the caves, instead we cut straight to the plans to find him. I also like the fact that, as everyone is
panicking and arranging rescues, the missing Doctor strolls in and asks if he can
come too! Having recently watched `Spearhead from Space` episodically week by
week it strikes me that so far the pace of `The Silurians` is much quicker, the
script far tighter.
