Line 3: {{quote\|''"Do you know why I'm a success, Mr Farrow? Because I've never allowed the word "can't" to exist."''\|'''Forester'''}} Given a second series ,<ref>(though this story and the next were actually filmed as part of the first series)</ref>, ''[[Doctor Who]]'' kicks off with a sci-fi staple — [[Incredible Shrinking Man\|the heroes are shrunk to about an inch tall]]. All the usual fun and frolics with perfectly normal household objects becoming perilous deathtraps are there, but they also uncover a plot by a ruthless businessman Forester to launch a new insecticide, DN6, despite it being harmful to other life. A civil servant investigates, but is murdered by the businessman (told you he was ruthless). Line 16: * [[Hand Wave]]: The reason behind the shrinkage of the Doctor and Co. is...Space Pressure. * [[Incredible Shrinking Man]] * [[Missing Episode]]: A near-unique example for the series; "Planet Of Giants" was originally recorded as four episodes, but later the third and fourth were combined into a faster-paced Episode 3 (the unused footage was apparently destroyed). This ended up leaving a one-episode hole at the very end of the Series 2 production block, which was filled by [[Doctor Who/Recap/S3 E2/E02 Missiontothe Unknown\|Mission To The Unknown]]. * [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Barbara gets poisoned and gets progressively more ill as the show goes on, but hides it because... why? * [[Smart Ball]]: Susan with her observations about the nature of the insecticide. May simply be her failing to hold the [[Idiot Ball]] for once, given her [[Informed Attribute\|Informed intelligence]] in the pilot and a few episodes.
