DOCTOR WHO COMING SOON Time-flight & Arc Of Infinity

Two stories based around the character of Tegan, this union of Time-Flight and Arc of Infinity is an interesting double header for any Doctor Who enthusiast. Both stories see Peter Davison in the title role.

Time-Flight's big selling point is neither Davison's Doctor nor Janet Fielding's Tegan. Instead, it's Concorde, as the Doctor gets Tegan to Heathrow Airport, only to discover that the infamous supersonic jet is caught in a muddle with a time corridor. And while truthfully the story wrapping round this concept isn't top of the range Who, it's still both entertaining and easy to watch, and good fun all round.

Arc of Infinity, meanwhile, takes the Doctor back into the midst of the Time Lords, only to discover that one of them has chosen him to be the victim of a strange creature. This creature can only survive by bonding with a Time Lord, and when the High Council of Time Lords rules that the Doctor has to be killed, the scene is set for an interesting mystery, that also sees Tegan fall into dangerous hands too.

The two stories in this Doctor Who boxset are, to be fair, fairly loosely linked, but while neither comes from a particularly classic era of the show, both have plenty to make them worth watching. Of the two, Arc of Infinity is the better, but backed up with the usual top notch extras, this is a boxset that few Doctor Who fans will want to be without

@cultmiester Don't know about Warrior's Gate because I haven't seen it but I have seen Delta & the Bannermen years ago in 2006-2007 and I enjoyed it but not as much as other Dr who episodes but it wasn't that bad.

[cultmiester]

@JackWProductions um... i'd say so. also, Warriors' Gate is terrible. *waits for hate*

[JackWProductions]

@cultmiester Worse then The Twin Dilemma, The Happiness Patrol and Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks?

[sadako24]

@WABBITS8 Nonsense! Matt Smith's the best doctor since Tom Baker- I wish they could somehow decanonise all the shit Doctors inbetween the two of them. Peter may have done a good job but he was given a shit character to work with- the most useless failure of a Doctor ever, because JNT/Eric Saward were so desperate to make the show appear downbeat they had to reduce the Doctor to a pathetic shadow of himself. Davison's only shining moments were when a good writer gave him an Enlightenment or Caves

[WABBITS8]

@highwoodproductions Glad we agree!

[WABBITS8]

@twdalbeck27 The End of Time was crap - true. But so is matt smith.

[twdalbeck27]

@WABBITS8 Sorry guy, going to have to agree to disagree. At least Matt Smith didn't have to deal with the majority of the worst two parter ever... The end of time parts 1 and 2.

[WABBITS8]

@twdalbeck27 Please DON'T EVER compare Matt Smith to Peter Davison. Peter did a magnificent job -not so Matt Smith who is the worst Dr ever!.

[cultmiester]

@twdalbeck27 yes, Delta & the Bannermen is a McCoy episode. a particularly bad story if i ever saw one. crap acting, crap continuity, crap baddie, just crap overall.

[twdalbeck27]

@cultmiester Wasn't that one a McCoy epsiode?
