Doctor Who stories are always good! :) But don't listen to the commentary! :(

Even if it's as weird as this story!

Even if you don't like this weird man-eating story, it was set in a beatiful setting -- Spain! The country side part of Spain! BEAUTIFUL! This would have be one of the most remarkable pieces of footage ever seen!

The commentary wasn't good, because they were criticizing the era too much. Colin was the only descent one who was making sense of the whole situation. We don't need any whinging and whinig on something that a fan bought from the shop thank you very much! If you didn't enjoy your era -- that's not our problem! Let the fans enjoy! People who actually loved Colin and all the other eras alike! That's the only thing that runined it. I gave it 5 still because I don't need Nicola telling me what to do! It wouldn't of have happened in 1985! I saw Jamie (can't remember his real name) who said (on The Mind Robber) briefly he was very fond of the opportunity to do the Two Doctors! And that's how people should remember the show!

Warning: It's a pretty weird and wild story, but it's definetly fun and enjoyable -- and that't the main thing.

Imagine what it would be like if there was "The Eight Doctors," just like the doctor who novel that has been produced! Wow! I wish there were more of these somehow, but I know that wouldn't be possible!

"Would you care to repeat that?"

Colin Baker, in full Cleese-like viscious wit assault, was for a short time THE Doctor. This is him at his absolute best, ranting, demented, and above all funny. Add to that the wonder that was Patrick Troughton and you have the best of all the multi-Doctor stories. Finally, the story is long enough to suit two stars (the Five and Three Doctors are OK, but seem more like stunts to get ratings.)

Robert Holmes' dark edge comes back from the classic mid-seventies gothic era. The wonderful Holmsian-Double-Acts, The Sontarans, and an odd twist on the theme of what is the difference between being a Carnivor and a Cannible.

For the casual viewer ... well, you might want to do some research. If special effects are more important than acting and writing, then you should just buy something else. Like a choice between a bowl of candy or a good well-rounded meal: one is obviously more appealing than the other, but ultimately less satisfying.

For the fan, this is as good as it gets. One of the many peaks this show, this classic, this instititution ... now dominating British TV once again nearly 42 years after its start! Started before Star Trek and standing long after Star Trek. Dominant. The Best.

The Last Great Story

This is the last great Doctor Who story of the '80s. Throwing out the continuity problems, which the show never really paid attention to, this story gives the last Doctor Who appearances by Patrick Troughton (the 2nd Doctor) and Frazer Hines (Jamie). While writer Robert Holmes went on to write most of the "Trial of a Time Lord" story, this is his last great contribution. The extras are hard to beat. The commentary track provides interesting insights from the actors and the director. The behind the scenes footage is great stuff to any "Who" fan. The documentary "Adventures in Time and Spain" offers a look at how difficult it was to select a filming location overseas. A great disc that's worth the time and money.
