1 Revisited: Peter Davison, The Fifth Doctor
5/26/13
The Fifth Doctor, played by Peter Davison, introduced viewers to a character who was fresh faced, youthful and more vulnerable than we had seen before. Doctor Who Revisited takes a close look at a TARDIS that was bursting at the seams with a range of different companions, and examines one of the most dramatic episodes from the series to date. We also look at the return of two popular foes, the emotionless Cybermen and the ever-deceitful Master.

Giving 1 star because the “season” is NOT a season. It’s 1 single story from 1 season. The first season of Doctor Who was a ton of episodes. This is 4 episodes. Then “season” 2 skips way forward in the series, again having only a handful of episodes. So buyer beware. Do your research before paying for “seasons” 1 and 2 with 30+ episodes missing between. I regret not doing my research first and can only take the blame myself. Don’t be like me.

I'm only giving this episode set three stars due to the fact that this set only includes the 7th doctor episode Survival instead of the episode Rememberance of the Daleks which the original BBC America airing had originally shown. I've been wanting to see and keep a permanent copy of that episode for quite a while. I even tried to download that Daleks ep through torrents with no real luck. I'm disappointed with a legitimate video source like Google to not provide the serious DW fans with the episodes we are more then willing to pay for.

I love Classic Doctor Who, but 2 bucks per 20 minute episode? That's $10-12 per story. Too rich for me. Netflix fails with DW choices, but is far better on price.
