This story is purely and simply Tom Baker at his finest. This is one of the few stories where the Doctor has no companions and so must work to unravel the answer to the mystery that the Doctor finds himself inexplicably involved in. I found this to be rather an unusual and dark story but overall very likeable. As I mentioned above this is Tom Baker at his finest as the Doctor. As I have mentioned in pervious reviews of Doctor Who DVD's Tom Baker is my personal favourite Doctor of the original series run and this is now my favourite Doctor Who story from the Tom Baker years. In addition to an extremely good story the added features on this DVD are as always a great bonus to have. From the The Matrix Revisited feature to the Frighten Factor to the Commentary these are great extras and only just add to the value of this DVD set. |
