That is fascinating about Peter R. Newman, and kinda sad that noone knew anything about him (myself included). Definitely going to check out the documentary. So basically, The Sensorites came about from his time spent in a Japanese POW camp in WWII. Fascinating.
I watched The Sensorites a while ago, I'd have to watch it again though if I wanted to comment in detail, but I do remember liking the theme of the Sensorites initially being a seemingly fierce threat, but are in fact furiously defending their planet from what they see as a deadly alien race (a common theme in many sci-fi stories but still one that I like). I also liked that Susan had a substantial amount to do in this storyline.
