Doctor Who - The Three Doctors (DVD 2003)

Starring Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor.

A gel-like plasma creature arrives on earth and hunts down the Doctor, who calls on the Time Lords for help. The Time Lords themselves are in crisis as their energy is being drawn off into a black hole. They send the Doctor’s earlier selves to join him. The first Doctor, caught in a time eddy and able only to advise, deduces that the creature is a time bridge. The third Doctor and Jo then give themselves up to it and are transported to a world of antimatter beyond the black hole. On Earth, the second Doctor is forced to take refuge in the TARDIS along with the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton. He switches off the ship’s force field, and the whole UNIT building is transported through the black hole. Behind these events is Omega, a figure from the Time Lord history whose solar engineering provided the power for time travel. He has been trapped in the black hole ever since and now wants the Doctor to swap places with him, but it transpires that the corrosive properties of his domain have already destroyed his physical form, leaving only his will. He threatens to destroy the universe.

This is a classic Doctor Who adventure. Who could fault a programme with at least four timelords in it? It may not have jellybabies, a long scarf and a metal dog in it but Jon Pertwee's Doctor is still a classic. The chemistry between the second and third doctors dances between riotous humour and nail biting drama. It is a pity that, as a result of William Hartnel's illness, he was unable to take much of a role but the Birg's reaction at finding out that he has three doctors to keep in hand is worth the purchase price by itself.

The Three Doctors is one of my very favourite stories form the Pertwee era. Not only is Jon Pertwee on superb form in this one but so is Patrick Troughton, and it's great to see the original Doctor William Hartnell, even if it is only in small snippets. Nick Courtney as the Brigadier also puts in a great performance in what is one of the true classics of classic Doctor Who. Well worth a look this one!

This Item was being watch by my son. He is a Dr Who fan. He was delighted when he search ebay and found this Dvd as he had been looking for a while. He didn't leave his room and did not take his eyes off the screen. He was not disappointed by this item and he wants to encourage all Dr who fans to watch it. He would also like me to thank the seller and also ebay.

Doctor Who - The Three Doctors (DVD 2003)

This is a good story, the three timelords of dr who meet each other face to face well nearly, patrick troughton is brilliant in it! he makes the episode come to life very special part! its the usual dr who fantasy the doctors end up saving the universe from "OMEGA" a time lord himself(as such), the only thing about it, like most of the episodes the characters end up returning back to where they have just come from? thats a time-lord for you!

But as quirky as it gets it is a really entertaining episodes, the brigadier is there also, this is one to buy for all doctor who fans' out there and sc-fi fans, for the none-fans, it can be a bit tedious, but really, it is true escapism, buy on ebay you know it makes sense, buy this DVD! 4/5
