Though designed as a filler story to help the production of the ambitious, upcoming Marco Polo, David Whitaker's two-part TARDIS-set drama The Edge of Destruction is an intriguing mystery that drives our heroes to the brink of insanity and violence, with all of the series regulars getting a chance to act out of the norm in their roles, especially William Hartnell as a delirious and mistrusting Time Lord, delivering one his best series performances during one particularly eerie soliloquy sequence effectively realised with atmosphere by the late director Frank Cox.
