DVD Reviews of Doctor Who: The Mind Robber (Story 45)
DVD Review: The Most Psychodelic adventure of the 2nd Doctor!
Summary: 5 Stars
This adventure is a wild ride, first you see the TARDIS explode into oblivion, second a bizzare land in a No Time existence, populated with fantasy characters of books and legends, even a short new Jaime in here!
But is a great adventure of the 2nd Doctor, and very Good restoration.
This is as close we can get from the atmosphere of the land of the Celestial Toymaker from the first Doctor. A Must for any Doctor Who fan of the Old series.
DVD Review: This Grows On You
Summary: 4 Stars
Since I'm a "Johnny Come Lately" to the Doctor Who series, I wanted to get at least one episode featuring each actor who played the Doctor. And since this story arc includes five episodes, it seemed a good place to view Edward Troughton's Doctor. The first two of these five episodes, I have to say, were a disappointment. In fact, it only really picked up when Doctor Who finally confronted the "villian" face to face (so to speak) in the fourth episode. That's when the whole story arc came alive. Prior to that, Troughton's Doctor struck me as much too timid and cautious. But by the end, it was well worth my time. Now I want to get another episode with Edward Troughton, since one of the Amazon reviews said this was the weakest of the Troughton series. DVD Review: Werid story line
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an episode that was written in a hurry and it was easy to tell. You need this episode for the future or you can skip it.DVD Review: Very Clever
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very well written episode. One of Patrick Troughton's best and the story is a true classic. What I found interesting is how they managed to take Frazer Hines' unfortunate illness(He had become ill with chickenpox right before filming episode 2.)and made it look like they intentionally changed Jamie from one face to the other then back again. In the commentary, Frazer Hines does tell how when Zoe slapped Jamie, she clipped his ear and his ear rang for a few minutes and also tells that one of the toy soldiers was, in fact, his older brother, who he asked to be in the episode. What truly stands out in this story is how they blend the fairy tales and classic story characters together to make a very interesting adventure.DVD Review: When stories come alive...
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is one of the few non-Dalek,non-Cybermen,non-Master,non-invasion ones that I like. I like the Second Doctor and wish more of his stories survived the BBC. This one has Gulliver, Sir Lancelot, and a plot that takes the TADRIS out of space and time completely. Tons of extras, commentary by Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury and behind the scenes features. Even a short from Basil Brush with a Yeti.
And, of course, a great shot of Zoe's butt. What? You all know you like her figure. Don't try to act like you weren't looking.
Description of Doctor Who: The Mind Robber (Story 45)
A quick escape from the path of molten lava sends the Tardis to "nowhere" where anything that springs to mind may become reality.The 1968 Doctor Who serial The Mind Robber is a two-fold blessing, because it's not only one of the more engaging story arcs from the program's second season, but also because it's one of the few shows featuring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor that has remained intact since its original BBC broadcast. The five-part story strands the Doctor and companions Jamie (Frazier Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury) in a strange world populated by characters from fiction, including Rapunzel, Blackbeard the Pirate, and Lemuel Gulliver. Controlling this riot of literary personages is a being called The Master (though not the evil Time Lord from subsequent Who seasons), with whom the Doctor must match wits in order to rescue his friends and save the Earth from a sinister plan. A longtime fan favorite brimming with imagination, visual style (despite its limited budget), and an energetic performance by Troughton, The Mind Robber is a welcome inclusion to the growing collection of Doctor Who on DVD. --Paul Gaita
