DVD Reviews of Doctor Who: The E-Space Trilogy - Full Circle/State of Decay/Warriors' Gate (Stories 112-114)
DVD Review: Doctor Who Fan
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this series. There was a brief skip in the middle of Full Circle (Episode 3), but I cleaned the disc and it was fine. DVD Review: The Doctor and Romana find new adventures and perils in E-Space.
Summary: 5 Stars
The E-Space trilogy encompases an entire season of Doctor Who. The first in the series entitled "Full Circle" finds The Doctor and Romana heading back to Galifrey so the Doctor can return Romana. The Time Lords have demanded she come back and return to her place amongest them. Romana doesn't want to go back. All the while inside the TARDIS they have inadvertanly travled through a CVE into E-Space. Finding themselves on a strange planet that while the TARDIS screen shows Gallifry has a jungle in its place. They soon find a small settlement of people living and working around a vast starship. Along the way they meet a very talneted young man who goes by the name of Adric. Soon enough strange mists begin to come in from the marshes and the people have to make thier way to the starliner to avoid dying from the mists. Oddly enough marsh creatures begin to come from the depths and make for land. Can the Doctor figure out what the marsh creatures have to do with the settlement and the starliner? Or will the Doctor and Romana become trapped in E-Space forever?
In the next episodes entitled "State of Decay" The Doctor and Romana finally figuring out they have become trapped in E-Space try to find a planet with some form of advance technology to aid them into reutning to normal space. On the very fringe of the TARDIS scanners they find one planet. Soon enough they land only to discover a medival like society in which the peasents are lorded over by a king and queen alongside thier chamberlian. But not all seems to be as it is. The very castel resembles a spaceship. They peasents know nothing of the outside world or anything else beyond the village. Bats haunt the land as if waiting for something to return. The Doctor dreads that an old galliferian legend may have some truth to it. Worse still young Adric has stowed away on the TARDIS and stumbled into the clutches of the lords of the castle. Can the Doctor and Romana figure out what is happening or shall he become something far, far worse happen to them?
The final epsiodes entitled "Warriors' Gate" find The Doctor, Romana and Adric at the very end of E-Space. Stragner still they encounter a strange lion like man who claims they need his help before he hijacks the TARDIS and sends them to where he is. Thier they find a ship manned by a mad Captain and his crew some are tired of trying to leave others want to jetison the cargo. Others just want to go home. The captain won't let that happen. He finds the Doctor and the others and forces them to find a way out. All the while the universe around them begins to crumble. Can the Doctor figure a way out before its too late or is this the end for them all?
The very tail end of Tom Baker's time as the Doctor has nearly come to end. Watch as you see some of his greatest moments as the Doctor show here on this three DVD set. The clean up is well worth it and reommeded for any true Doctor Who fan.
DVD Review: no snowy screen this time.
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I saw or more apt heard, was in the 70's these three "ESpace triology" stayed in my mind especially the lizard men.
I was so glad to get to see them again clearly and they were as I remembered. I recommend them to the new Dr. Who fans. I enjoyed Tom Baker with his multi use looong scarf, K-9 and his many relunctant travelers. What fun.
DVD Review: The best of the D. Who series
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been a fan of Dr. Who for quite a few years. I have seen all of the episodes available and this is what I consider the bestDVD Review: Goodbye Romana II , welcome Adric , All good things must end!
Summary: 5 Stars
Full Circle, State of Decay and Warriors Gate compose this box set of the 4th Doctor in his E Space adventures.
Solid Episodes, especially State of Decay and how Time Lords fight Vampires and Warrior's Gate with the departure of cute Romana II.
all features are great , but I wish Mr.Baker were on them, he is hilarious.
This is the goodbye of Tom as The Doctor, and quite frankly, The Show was never the same, we have to wait till 2005 for another good Doctor who save the day!!!
3 solid histories of the long run of Tom as the Doctor.
Get it right away!
Description of Doctor Who: The E-Space Trilogy - Full Circle/State of Decay/Warriors' Gate (Stories 112-114)

Production Notes
The E-Space Trilogy is a well-regarded trio of stories from the tail end of Tom Baker's tenure as the Doctor (and the show's 18th season), and find him lost in a parallel universe full of alarming new foes; the trilogy also serves as a farewell to one of the Doctor's best-loved companions, Romana (Lalla Ward) and an introduction to one of his most controversial, the teenaged Adric (Matthew Waterhouse). The TARDIS enters the alternate universe--known as Exo-Space or E-Space in 1980's Full Circle, which finds the Doctor and Romana charting a course for their home planet of Gallifrey but instead finding themselves on the planet Alzarius, where a small band of humanoids find conflict within their number as well as from menacing, reptilian Marshmen. One of the humanoids, a teenager named Adric, stows away aboard the TARDIS and accompanies the Doctor to a new planet in State of Decay; there, they discover a medieval-like society in the grip of three lords who demand sacrifice from the population. The true identity of the lords lends an air of Hammer-style horror to the story, which is perhaps the most engaging of the set. Finally, an escape route from E-Space is revealed in Warriors' Gate, but first, the Doctor and his companions must contend with a slave ship and its cargo of lion-like creatures called Tharils. Though the Doctor is eventually freed from E-Space, his departure does not come without its costs, as revealed by the final fate of Romana and fan favorite K-9 Mk II.
Though by no means among the best of the Baker episodes, the E-Space Trilogy delivers plenty of thrills in its three stories. Fans may find areas to quibble over--especially in regard to Adric, whose presence pales in comparison to Baker's previous companions--but they bear up well in regard to solid plotting and consistent entertainment, especially when compared to the lighter tone of the previous season, which was overseen by Douglas Adams of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame. Baker and Ward are once again the anchors of the show, and her departure is an unfortunate one (the Doctor would struggle to find an equally strong companion in the years that followed); Baker of course, remains a pleasure as the Time Lord, though one can occasionally perceive his growing dissatisfaction with the role (he would depart the series at the end of the season). And perhaps that's the reason why he is absent from the set's wealth of extras, leaving Waterhouse to contribute the majority of the commentaries, though Ward weighs in on Warriors' Gate. Archival footage from UK TV chronicles Waterhouse's debut on the series and preserves the original continuity announcements from the BBC broadcasts, while featurettes cover everything from Ward's stylish wardrobe to the making of each episodes. One of the most interesting extras is "Leaves of Blood," a 20-minute examination of vampires in literature and history, and featuring comments by such noted authors as Ramsay Campbell and Kim Newman. Deleted scenes and an isolated score option round out the supplemental features. -- Paul Gaita
