If you compiled a list of the all-time greatest and most influential directors, that list would be incomplete without Akira Kurosawa. Many of his films have had a severe impact upon western audiences, whether it is The Hidden Fortress being a massive influence on Star Wars, Seven Samurai (and its remake The Magnificent Seven) inspiring many works including Pixar’s A Bug’s Life, or Rashomon being used to name the phenomenon of unreliable eyewitnesses.

The Enemy of the World is famously the odd man out in Season Five’s run of monster-driven stories. That’s true, but how unusual is it as part of the Second Doctor’s era in general? Troughton’s second story, after all, was the last of the ‘pure’ historicals, while it’s seldom noted that Season Six is full of stories where monsters are a side dish (The Dominators, The Mind Robber) or absent entirely (The Space Pirates, The War Games). Yet none of those feel out of place in this run of the show.

There’s a case you could make against the Second Doctor’s era, that it represents a retreat from the wide-open possibilities of the Hartnell years into formula.
