The Key to Time: The Complete Adventure encompasses one of the more ambitious chapters in the history of the long-running BBC television series Doctor Who, and its landmark status, combined with the presence of the well-loved Tom Baker in the title role, should make this six-disc boxed set irresistible to Who fans. The 26-episode series was conceived by producer Graham Williams, who was intrigued by the idea of a season-long story arc, and after several setbacks he finally achieved it in 1978-79 for the program's 16th season. In The Key to Time, the Doctor and his new companion, the elegant and sharp-witted Time Lady Romana (Mary Tamm) are dispatched by the White Guardian to recover the six segments of the Key of Time, a powerful device with the ability to stop time. The Doctor and Romana must travel the universe to find the hidden segments before the nefarious Black Guardian discovers them. Their adventures bring them in contact with a host of unusual personalities and, in a time-honored Doctor Who tradition, a number of terrifying monsters.

Semina Doctor Who Saga

For Doctor Who lovers, this set is a must have, especially as Tom Baker , who rarely contributes to the DVD's, actually does comment on several of the discs. if you love Doctor Who, you will love this set. If you love Tom Baker, you need this set. The stories are all all right, and none of them ranks up there with the best of Who, but it was an extremely ambitious effort, and the stories are a fair represntation about what the series is about.

Imagination

I'm thrilled to see Dr. Who available on DVD. I was blown away when I saw this! I loved it right away when I first saw it on PBS as a teenager in the 80's. The special effects are practically non-existant, the costumes are bad, and the acting hokey--and yet still I loved it all. I think that all those things actually allow the imagination to go to work, and I enjoy it even more than I do all our "hight tech" sci-fi movies with the million dollar "computer generated special effects". It's just more fun to watch "The Doctor"!

Pure garbage...save your money

People that love this series are misguided at best...it sucks. I mean completely stinks. I will be putting set on eBay.

I love the Avengers, The Prisoner...and especially!!! Secret Agent and Danger Man. This stuff is brit tv at it's finest. I also like Monty Python and the Chronicles of Narnia...so a brit-hater I'm not.

This series has the most horrific acting, garbage visuals, missing story lines, etc.
