Imagine if that had been the first story to go out. I remember being quite pissed off at the time that the first two parter, the first chance for a story to stretch its wings a little, was given to something so fluffy, silly and with such rubbish monsters. Who thought that suit looked good when it was delivered?!
And then the next week we had 'Dalek'! Adult, dark and bad ass.
Rose (which I love!) and the Slitheen 2-parter were the first episodes they ever filmed, so I guess it was a matter of trying to find the right tone. I did read Keith Boak (the director) was difficult to work with and explains why he hasn't been asked to direct since.
I have to agree, Dalek is amazing though. I just wish they'd ask Robert Shearman back. Rumor has it he had a big fallout wit RTD. Maybe Moff will ask him back.
