Summary: AN INTERESTING TWO-PART "WHO" ADVENTURE.
Comment: "Black Orchid," a two-part adventure from Peter Davison's first season as the Doctor, is the first true "historical" adventure since the 1960's. By "historical," this means no aliens or monsters in an historical setting. While the serial does have some chills, and stellar performances from Davison and a terrific cast, the writing is a bit sub-par, and the tension cannot be felt throughout the entire two episodes. Still, "Who" fans will find much to appreciate with "Black Orchid."
Program/DVD Grade: B+

Summary: Dr. Who Black Orchid
Comment: Doctor Who - Black Orchid (Episode 121) Typical Dr. Who from Peter Davison. The shortest episode that I can think of. As usual, well acted and very good location.

Summary: It's still Who!!
Comment: Yes there are no monsters. But who cares!! Doctor Who used to do historical episodes, and this seems to be an attempt by John Nathan Turner to bring back the historical episodes(that and most likely to save money, as the budget for this show was ridiculously LOW!). The episode is a lot of fun, despite it being a tad cliched. What is especially nice is to see the comaraderie between the tardis crew which was lacking in many of this Doctor's episodes, since everyone in the crew seemed to always be at each others throats. The sets are splendid, and the plot is engaging. It is a good Davison episode, and his charm shines through. Definitely worth a watch

Summary: Not an expert on past Doctors
Comment: I have just started to explore past versions of the show. So I am no expert. I did not particularly like this actor playing the Doctor, he was just fair in my view. The story line was good. Maybe having watched the new series for its 4 year run, I am too critical of past versions. TV was very different then. It holds up well enough to enjoy, but not well enough to give it a high mark.
