C130 The Five Doctors

Four-and-a-bit Doctors battle Cybers, a chap in silver spandex and a Time Lord conspiracy in the 20th Anniversary Special * * * When a malevolent force uses the Time Scoop to abduct four and a half Doctors and an array of companions, and plonk them in The Death Zone, Time Lord President Borusa sees no choice but to employ the services of The Master to Snake Plisken to the rescue. Sounds straightforward enough. Plenty of other beasties roam the arid wasteland of The Death Zone, too, though, and when the Shada tape gets stuck in the VCR, Doc, Doc and Doc reunite with old friends and themselves to outwit them all. Can they get to the bottom of the mystery before it’s too late? Will they be bested by an acrobat in silver PJs? And how many Cybermen screaming in torment can you reasonably decapitate on screen before it ceases to be a family show? It’s the 20th Anniversary Special, so anything could happen! * * * Check out WHOBACKWHEN.COM for more information, Doctor Who TV Serial and Audiobook reviews, ratings and ramblings, and loads more podcast episodes.
