I quite enjoy this classic story. It has some interesting ideas for its space ark and these themes are explored decently with some interesting moral ambiguity to all of it. Dodo, a relatively weaker companion by the show's standards, does shine a bit here, and Steven has some fun stuff to do. The Doctor doesn't have as much to do here but Hartnell is always entertaining.
This is an easy one to get through and most of all, it looks great. I think the design of the Monoids is fun, and the set itself really feels like this artificial environment on a spaceship given the limited effects of the era. I got a good sense of all these moving parts and how it comes together nicely from the experience, even if it kind of feels like they used up all the money near the end of the storyline and that even bled into the Celestial Toymaker's budget, apparently.
