Peter Davison's final adventure, "The Caves of Androzani," pulls out all stops to give this Doctor an unforgettable farewell. Deep within the titular caves, the disfigured, masked antihero Sharez Jek (Christopher Gable) and his regiment of androids are locked in conflict with an army unit and a group of smugglers for control of the life-extending Spectrox. When the Doctor and Peri (Nicola Bryant) enter this labyrinth, they immediately become victims of deadly Spectrox poisoning. The story's numerous subplots involve espionage, betrayal, and revenge, as well as big-business corruption, political assassination, and silly-looking reptilian monsters. And the first episode has one of the best cliffhangers ever: our heroes are executed by a firing squad armed with submachine guns.

Robert Holmes (who wrote the more satirical Doctor Who story "The Sun Makers") here concentrates on delivering a breathlessly paced action thriller, with relentless death and destruction unfolding like in a Sam Peckinpah film, making Davison's heroic pacifism all the more effective. --Gary S. Dalkin

Customer Reviews of Doctor Who - The Caves of Androzani

A Must-Have for Every Sci-Fi Fan
What's not to like? A compelling plot, excellent acting, beautifully designed sets and lighting, terrific location work, lots of terrific bad guys, plenty of shooting, and suspense, suspense, suspense--what more could anyone want? OK, the Magma Creature is cheaply done, but considering the shoestring budget, this is a masterpiece of television production. Peter Davison has finally grown into his characterization of the Doctor in this, his final episode. He shows a full range of emotion, and demonstrates what a fine actor he is capable of being. Nicola Bryant is very strong as Peri and her stammering in terror makes a nice change from the more usual Doctor Who "screamer" female companion. The masked, psychotic Sharaz Jek is convincingly portrayed as is the evil corporate chief Morgus. Morgus' occasional, almost Shakespearean asides to the camera are a nice touch. The gun runners are well played and Salateen is just perfectly done. Peter Davison's final scene as the Doctor is one of the truly memorable moments in the series' incredible 26-year run. Except for the afore-mentioned silly-looking Magma Creature, "Caves of Androzani" is the perfect episode of Doctor Who. "Caves of Androzani" is as necessary to the sci-fi fan as the first episode of "Star Trek" or the latest "Farscape." Even if you've never seen Doctor Who before, you should see this episode. Buy it!!!


Masterpiece
By far the best Peter Davison, and the best Doctor Who story of the 1980s. Everything about it, from the acting to the plot agrees with the viewer very soundly. Every character, from Morgus to the President to Sharez Jek especially is very well characterized and acted. Nicola Bryant is excellent as Peri, there's hardly a hint of the unlikable character she would later become in Colin Baker's era. Peter Davison - what can I say? He ranged from engaging to bland to totally unmemorable throughout his tenure as the Doctor, but he is simply superb in "The Caves of Androzani". Here he gives his best performance ever as the Doctor. The final part is perfectly shot, and the Doctor's 5th regeneration is by far the best realised and most emotionally effective and memorable one ever portrayed on Doctor Who. Kudos to Robert Holmes the writer and Graeme Harper the director as well for a marvellous tale, one which should have been typical of the Davison era, not an exception.


DOCTOR WHO CAVES OF ANDROZANI
This is an excellent dvd. One of the best of the tv series. The episode format is ok but if the BBC could release the Doctor Who series with an omnibus version on the same dvd the viewers could have a choice to watch it in episodic version or all the way through without a break.
Just a hint to the ones in charge who release Doctor Who on DVD.
