(First watched 2007-01-10, -11, -12, -13, -15, -15, -16) In a way, the early part of this series reminds me of Sliders.  They got lost on their first trip, and then without the proper information and equipment bungle on to the next stop, solving problems so they can survive along the way.  The Doctor really is quite a selfish grump.  It's interesting to see how he's really a bit of an adversary to the teachers, though they're forced to rely on each other for continued survival and transportation.  With the benefit of... foresight of the 2005 version of the Daleks which made them seem formidable even if goofy-looking, the original 60s goofy-looking ones gain a retroactive feel of danger.

The Daleks are clearly not as much of a threat in this serial as they grow to be 40 years later.  It should be interesting to see how this technology gap changes in the meantime.  Certainly they have a long way to go from being floor-powered and shooting paralyzing goo to the flying, disintegration-ray-shooting, Time Lord enemies I know they become.
It's hard to call it music, but the combination of low note and following weird sound effect used to convey weirdness of the Dalek city was somehow really effective.
