This was a beautiful little piece about the Doctor trying to get Ian and Barbara back to 1963 (because no other year exists in Doctor Who in the 60s) and the ending was unexpectedly somber and heartfelt.

I learned stuff about the TARDIS, which was cool. It was also interesting to see Ian and Barbra sit on the frozen (in time) water.
