Customer Reviews of Doctor Who - The Three Doctors

Possibly the best Doctor Who ever made!!!
Simply put this is a great tape with a really good story. For those who never got to see the first 3 doctors then this is a must. The interaction between Patrick Troughton(Doctor #2) and Jon Pertwee(Doctor#3) is priceless. The very ill William Hartnell(original Doctor) gives a nice addition even though limited by his ailing disease. The story is outstanding with a villian of comperable ability to the Doctors. Its a Pertwee story that simply is great. Its also a great story for those just being introduced to the world of Doctor Who. Sadly this was the last appearence of William Hartnell who died not that long after this. Its historic especially now considering that the first 3 doctors which helped make Doctor Who so great are no longer alive. But the y will forever be in our hearts.

Three truly is the magic number!
This adventure marked a great deal of significance for Doctor Who in many ways. This adventure marked the 10th Anniversary of the program, and also brought together Jon Pertwee with Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell, the two previous actors to portray the Doctor.

The adventure itself was extraordinary, as it involves Omega, one of the founders of the Time Lord society, living in a universe of Anti-Matter that lies within the confines of a black hole, driven mad by the long years of isolation, out for revenge against the Time Lords (believing that he was abandoned). His powers are so great that the time bridge he creates (a frightening blob of ooze) threatens to tear apart the very fabric of the space-time continuum. In order to put a stop to it, the Time Lords break the first rule of time and allow the Doctor to help himself... literally. by removing his previous selves from their timestreams temporarily to assist the present incarnation.

This was a delightful adventure indeed. Upon seeing Patrick Troughton reappear out of midair to retrieve his recorder from the hands of the Third Doctor is simply priceless, and their bickering was also a highlight. And also of great importance was the appearance of William Hartnell. Although he was suffering from an illness that prevented him from being there on the set, he did provide a great deal through brief pre-recorded segments that would appear on the time scanner. My favorite part was when the two Doctors see the first Doctor on the screen, and Jo asks them both who that was, to which they both simultaneously reply, Me! then look at each in anger and say again in unison, ME!

this truly is a classic and a must have for Doctor Who fans, for at the end, the adventure also marks the end of the Doctor's exile. get a copy of this and you'll see what I mean.

Always a joy!
Here's a show that respects it's own history. Or at least as much as possible when you're talking aboout having over 700 episodes/150 adventures and keeping everything straight! They brought back a very ill William Hartnell for this show, the tenth anniversary, which was a delight as well as Patrick Troughton, who's had the honor of being the only Doctor present for all the multi-Doctor epics over the years (The Three, Five and Two Doctors, respectively). Seeing the Pertwee and Troughton personalities argue and then both being humbled by the Hartnell version--just the kind of stuff you like to see in an adventure of this sort, a mixing of the various incarnations of the Doctor. It's a pretty simple plot, admittedly to give way to setting up the title but it's a great show and a great addition to the DVD Who collection.
