Not a bad story for the later phase of Tom Baker's stint in the role. It's in the traditional mould of Dr Who stories, which I consider to be a plus. I won't spoil the story for you, it's not as good as the classic stuff that you get with Jon Pertwee or as good Baker's earlier stories like Pyramids of Mars or Ark in Space. But at least it takes itself moderately seriously. Certainly it is worth watching but do yourself a favour and skip the first 80 seconds of Episode 1 (sorry "Part One") which is a boring, silent pan across a boring windswept Brighton beach. That whole Brighton scene is pointless except to explain how they manage to get rid of K9 for the duration of the story. If you are a fellow K9 hater then I'm pleased to tell you that he makes no appearance after the first few mins. A word about the opening and closing credits: awful. I think the credits were new for this series and to be honest they are less technically impressive than the original ones from 1963! As is the reworked theme tune. But if you skip the credits, and skip Brighton (always a good idea) then you have about 80 mins of Doctor Who fun for very little financial expenditure (I got the DVD for less than £4). It's worth getting and better than I expected. Have fun!Read full review

The dvd condition was fine. I already own the Bluray but needed the cover and inlay sleeve to put in a double casing for both DVD and Bluray so that i can view by choice.

It is John Nathan-Turner's first story as producer. Many changes had taken place, Tom's new "uniform ", new radiophonic music, slick new titles & a more serious, scientific approach to stories, Not bad episode over all if you like Tom Bakers Dr you like this
