"Unless one Doctor can save them all from the writer of Horror of Fang Rock"

Yes he's a pretty scary writer!

(Sorry, punctuation..! I couldn't resist! Great vid tho, and great episode!)

One of Tom Bakers best adventures and one of my favorite DrWho stories. I had always assumed that some of those faces on the mind-contest machine were Morbius , why should they all be the Doctors after all ? One of them I recall had a moustache , non of the Doctors we know ever had a moustache so I assumed that was Morbius?

Also did anyone realise that Colin Fay who played Condo was the local policeman from All Creatures Great and Small for years?

colin fay is the MAN! my signature on my email for the past 11 or 12 YEARS has been "You've been looking for that arm AGAIN, haven't you?!" HA HA!

One of the best WHO stories ever, and a genuine DrWho masterpiece, from an incredible era in WHO history when such masterpiece productions were common.

Starting with "Time Warrior" in Season 11 and ending with "Talons of Weng Chiang" in Season 14, there are so many well-written stories capable of standing alone, that it would be easy to make an All time "Top Ten" WHO list from those four seasons.

Sarah Jane looks hot in those tight pants! AND...she gets tied up! Woo-Hoo!

@Cryer24597 That is very true. The "Best" and "Top Ten" WHO's vary from poll to poll, year to year. Now I personally rate the all-time best WHO's in broadcast order and avoid trying to put one above the others. I did this simply because my own "Top Ten" WHO list shifted from time to time.

[Cryer24597]

@coltperc I never said I viewed the era with less favour, my top 5 stories ever would include Genesis of the Daleks, The Brain of Morbius and The Seeds of Doom. I personally just think that The Caves of Androzani is a masterpiece of television and even outclasses those wonderful stories. Androzani is also the official best Dr who story ever as voted in polls.

But it's all a matter of opinion really.

[coltperc]

@Cryer24597 Caves of Androzani is definitely the best show from Peter Davison's era, hands down. But there are about 11 shows from Seasons 12,13 &14 that are even better in my view, including Brain of Morbius. The Hinchcliffe-Holmes production era had an incredible creative imagination and fearlessness that was the peak of Classic Who.

I know some will view the Hinchcliffe-Holmes era with less favor and I respect that. But I think all will agree that era was unique in DW history.

@evilejfan Caves of Androzani is better but this is great.

@bigwoolleypenguin

nice to see some one else thinks the way i do, i watched this as a kid and I always assumed it was morbius's past selves - largely due to the line "your puny mind is powerless against the strength of morbius" and then all these strange faces appear

[borgduck]

How can watching this kill me?

[RoseBadwolf455]

that was very well put together. :claps:
