	The Sensorites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Sensorites is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in six weekly parts from June 20 to August 1, 1964.
		The Sensorites then return to the craft to plague the crew, and one of their curious faces stares in at them from the main viewscreen of the ship.
		The Sensorite Council is divided over the issue of inviting the strangers to their world, with the Second Elder opposed to the invitation issued by the First Elder.

	The Sensorites
		The Doctor and his companions are in danger from certain elements of the Sensorite regime who distrust all humans, but fortunately they manage to devise an antidote to the Sensorites' illness and prove that three insane crewmen from the last human expedition are responsible for poisoning the water supply.
		The Sensorites themselves are an interesting bunch as well: from the very beginning, they're at least a very unconventional threat, as they've prevented the human space explorers from leaving but haven't tried to kill them and have even provided them with food and water.
		All that aside, "The Sensorites" is a solid installment and a nice companion piece to "The Aztecs" on the subject of interaction between different cultures, offering a more hopeful view in contrast to the pessimism of its predecessor.

	From A to 7Q - Sensorites
		The Sensorites communicate verbally, but can also communicate telepathically if they want to have a private conversation or if they wish to converse with someone a great distance away, in which case they do so by pressing a flat communication disc to their forehead.
		The Sensorites live on a planet known as the Sensesphere, where the society is structured in both family groups and a caste system.
		The Sensorites welcomed them, although their minds were closed...but it was a mistake, for the men disovered that the Sensesphere was a very rich planet.

	Outpost Gallifrey: Reviews
		The Sensorites themselves are a pretty standard bunch of aliens, with a noble leader and subordinates around him who are not quite as trusting of the new arrivals.
		The Sensorites are being poisoned off through their water supply, while the City Administrator is scheming first against his superiors — initially through fear of the human visitors and then for his own personal gain.
		In the end, the Sensorites are able to undo their mental crippling of John — and the Doctor is able to help them by finding an antidote to the poison in their water supply and eventually dealing with the problem.

	Review - The Sensorites
		Eventually the Sensorite leader says that the crew of the spacecraft and the TARDIS crew can visit the planet, but Barbara, Maitland and one Sensorite must stay behind as a safeguard, giving Jacqueline Hill her well earnt fortnight's break.
		The First Elder explains the illness that the Sensorite people are suffering, and that none of the Elders are; and insists that TARDIS crew drink from the 'crystal' water of the Elders.
		Carole appears to check on John's progress, commenting on how the Sensorites can't be told apart, except for their sashes, leading to the brilliant line from the City Adiministrator "I have never thought of that."; highlighting one flaw in the Sensorite system of rule.

		Their initial concern is for the ship´s human crew who are suffering from telepathic interference from the Sensorites, but Susan communicates with the Sensorites and finds that the aliens are fearful of an attack from the humans and are just defending themselves.

	[No title]
		Equally hard to swallow is the idea that the Sensorites can just cut out the lock of the TARDIS given the extra special properties and powers the ship has already been shown to have in Inside the Spaceship.
		The Sensorites themselves are a rare and largely successful attempt at an alien race which is neither more nor less powerful than humans, having a different set of strengths and weaknesses.
		The Sensorites are mostly well acted; Peter Glaze as the City Administrator is the best, except for his "I had never thought of that!" piece to camera (one of the most unintentionally kitsch moments of sixties Doctor Who if you ask me!) But Glaze conveys his character's ambition and deviousness extremely well.

	Dr Who The Sensorites Review: Doctor Who t-shirts and DVD/video reviews from Androzani.com
		Despite the fact that previously visiting humans intended to nick half the planet from under the Sensorites' feet, not to mention killing off large chunks of the Sensorite population, the Sensorite leaders are aliens of reason who are prepared to give our fearless heroes the benefit of the doubt.
		In the first episode, when Ian and Barbara lock the door on the Sensorites, they agree that the Sensorites aren't very aggressive and are probably as scared of Ian and Barbara as they are of them.
		His lack of fear of the Sensorites is great (he's particularly impressive when he's demanding the TARDIS lock back), and we love the way he gets everybody out of trouble at the end with devious cunning rather than derring-do.

		Whereas in other stories, Maitland would have been the human hero, in "The Sensorites" it is Barbara and Susan and Carol (and the Doctor, the unpredictable alien) who are the actors, the voices of reason.
		The reason the Sensorites are keeping the crew in orbit is the fear of mineral exploitation of their world by Earthmen.
		The Sensorites on first glance may seem lame, but their simplistic design of bulbous head, shaggy white beard and eyebrows, and flipper like feet make them unique.

	"The Sensorites" (Doctor Who #7)
		His investigations into the cause of the sickness are hampered by the subversive activities of the City Administrator, but eventually he uncovers three deranged human survivors from a past expedition who have been adding deadly nightshade to the water supply.
		One of the things that sets The Sensorites apart from many other Doctor Who adventures is its convincing and sympathetic presentation of an alien race and its culture.
		Just as the travellers' adventure with the Aztecs showed that human beings can sometimes be 'monsters' (to use Susan's description) so their encounter with the Sensorites, whose susceptibility to bright light and loud noise is rather charming and childlike, demonstrates that just because an alien race has a strange and possibly...

		The Sensorites, it transpires, are a race of telepaths adept in the control of the mind.
		Despite their gift as mental giants, the Sensorites are physically quite innocuous – small, corpulent and soft-spoken, they have extreme aversions to loud noise and darkness.

		(The first Sensorite plucks a small disc the size of a thick coin that is on a string around his neck; this is a Thought Amplification Disk, a device which focuses and amplifies the natural Sensorite talent acting like a kind of alien mobile telephone.
		Placing the TAD to it's forehead, the first Sensorite stands and listens as a strange series of wavering ethereal notes are felt rather heard in a curious way.
		Barbara gasps as the two Sensorites step out of the shadows; Ian quickly rushes to grab the nearest heavy metal object from the cupboard, a futuristic kind of wrench.

		Having made contact with the Sense-Sphere's reclusive inhabitants, the telepathic Sensorites, the Doctor must discover the source of a poison which has debilitated both Ian and most of the Sensorite race.
		The Sensorites, Serial G, was originally intended to close Doctor Who's first season, although production would continue for several more weeks to build up a stockpile of episodes for broadcast after the proposed six-week break in transmission.
		In particular, it was noted that the spacious sets needed for The Sensorites -- originally scheduled for Lime Grove D -- would be incompatible with Lime Grove G, and it was too late to rewrite the serial to fit into those facilities.
