The talented Jon
Pertwee returns in Doctor Who the Time Warrior (original air date
1973) that reunites the Doctor with Sarah Jane Smith (Elisabeth
Sladen) who impersonates a virologist to gain access to a top secret
facility in order to investigate why a number of scientists have
gone missing.
To compound the
situation, Sontaran and Linx are behind the disappearances who have
nefariously taken back the scientists to medieval England to repair
a crashed space ship. The storyline is classic Doctor Who which
features some overthetop performances by Pertwee and Sladen in whom
some say is the definitive Doctor Who.
What really makes
this DVD unique is the amount of special features on the disc such
as the in-depth commentary by Sladen and Letts (Producer) who give a
real insight into the series of the time. They have also added some
new CGI effects into the episodes to give it a new twist on how
things could have been. Brilliant!
