Tom Baker at his best!

A Customer from Up'north and right a bit!, 15th October, 2006

Tom Baker is undoubtedly the greatest of the doctors. Witty, charming and has the sharp edge that is like a foreplay between spoof and serious drama. This is perhaps not the best of the Who's DVDs available but its most definately worth a look!

Better than Genesis of the Daleks

William Clements from Reading, UK, 23rd September, 2008

It seems this must be a later short episode after the Genesis series. I'm not so sure of the timeline (it'd be great if there was a timeline available so I could rent the old Who's in order). But the Sontaran was very much like the recent modern episode, which suprised me. And I felt that Tom Baker was a lot more into the role in this series. The rest of the actors an dthe stories needed work, an dthe special effects just make me smile and reminisce about how bad things were in those days, but it doesn't detract from the overall satisfaction in remembering my old mate Tom Baker in his finest role.

Mid-season stocking filler

A Customer from Yorkshire, 9th November, 2007

This was actually quite a pleasant surprise. Two-episode stocking fillers became something of a staple diet in the Peter Davison era, but this is a nicely balanced two-parter, with an appearance by another lone Sontaran, and some good confrontational set pieces between him and the Doctor. The story as a whole acted as an excellent link for the Nerva space station 'arc' (no pun intended in relation to the previous story!).
