Summary: Another story from Tom Baker's second season.
Comment: Inspired by both The Forbidden Planet and a little Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde mixed in, this is one fun story. The TARDIS receives a distress call and lands on Zeta Minor. Unfortunately, the Doctor and Sarah arrive to find dead bodies of a science team just as the rescue ship arrives. So both are arrested as the murderers. The backgounds used in this story are very cool looking! While they're in custody, more murders begin to happen. This really is a good story and is highly recommended for everyone.

Summary: Great story, let down only slightly by presentation
Comment: This was the first Doctor Who story I had ever watched, and as a young child, it hooked me fast.

The story involves the plot of a scientist to harness the power of antimatter found on a planet at the edge of the known universe. Straddling this universe and the universe of antimatter is a mysterious creature often likened to the ID monster of Forbidden Planet. Professor Sorenson becomes "infected" with antimatter and becomes "Anti-Man."

Obviously, it's the Doctor's job to save these lunatics from themselves.

The planet's jungle sets have often been lauded as some of the best work the BBC has done, and I concur. The sets and the story are all fantastic, although the rescue ship's bridge seems a bit spartan (all the money was spent on the jungle).

The acting wavers a bit, as there are some lows (Prentis Hancock sometimes overacts as the inflexible by-the-book and over-the-top commander of a rescue party; a few death scenes are also over-acted) and some highs(Elizabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith is always wonderful, and Tom Baker's switching between dettachment and intense involvement is very "Doctorish").

Bonus features of the disc are on-par with other Dr. Who titles.

Summary: Classic Scifi
Comment: This was the first Doctor Who I ever saw. And while it isn't the greatest episode, it does represent everything that Doctor Who was at the time. It's campy and at times goofy. But it is pure at what it is. I know watch these with my sons when we go camping on a little DVD. I am suprised how much my sons raised today enjoy these old episodes. Hey Amazon and BBC, if anybody is listening - release more episodes! I now have nearly every Tom Baker era DVD released. I need more for camping. Let us know when you are coming out with more.
