The Green Death begins with our happy UNIT family all moving in different directions. Jo is consumed with the environmental work of Professor Jones. The Brigadier is investigating the mysterious deaths of some coal miners in Wales. And the Doctor wants nothing more than to take the TARDIS on an expedition to Metebelis Three. But, this being a television show, it's no surprise that all of their individual pursuits eventually coalesce. The Green Death is a top tier Third Doctor serial, in my opinion. It hits all the marks of the Pertwee era. There's cheesy special effects, fisticuffs, explosions, and some low key silliness. It also has one of the greatest endings of any Doctor Who serial so far, with the Doctor bidding a bittersweet farewell to his companion Jo Grant.
