:Hmm, I'd like to know as well. At any rate, that section will be deleted as the article is re-edited to conform with the new format. | :Hmm, I'd like to know as well. At any rate, that section will be deleted as the article is re-edited to conform with the new format. | ||

This article also lists "The Time Machine" and "Haunted House movies" as influences. I consider the Wells novel to be an influence on the series as a whole rather than any one story. And if anything, the story seems more heavily influenced by castaway dramas like Hitchcock's "Lifeboat" or "The Flight of the Phoenix." The only haunted house movie I see influencing this might be "The Haunting," which had recently been released when this story was produced. | |||

I've added the "Plot" section, using the plot on Wikipedia. However, it needs to be fleshed out a bit, divided into individual episodes, and could use images. | |||
== Enemy of the story == | |||
Wouldn't the Doctor be the enemy of this story? After all, he falsely accused Ian and Barbara of sabotaging the ship and even drugged his fellow travellers to provide evidence for his claims. Also at the conclusion of the story, the Doctor finds it difficult to aplogise to Barbara, whereas usually the Doctor would aplogise if necessary. Having said that the Doctor does mellow after this story. | |||
Thanks for your attention. | |||
:I suppose it is possible to argue the fact, but by that justification you could argue that the Doctor is the enemy in The Daleks, because he sabotages his ship to prevent them all from leaving. I think he's just being ''alien'' and there's the question of how much he's affected by the ship trying to tell everyone what's wrong (like Susan with the scissors and all that jazz). --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] 14:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
:: Could you consider the TARDIS itself to be the enemy of the story? [[User:Monkey with a Gun|Monkey with a Gun]] 07:18, 21 February 2009 (UTC) | |||
The Fast Return Switch's spring is the obvious enemy, listing "The Spring" as the enemy would be a bit stupid, so shall we leave it blank? | |||
== Uncredited crew == | |||
I've removed the unsourced uncredited crew and placed them here until they can be properly sourced. | |||
