"Doctor Who" is a classic science-fiction series with a cult following. The Doctor is called a "Time Lord," a time-traveling scientist from a far-off planet who travels through time and space in a shop known by the acronym TARDIS. A TARDIS is a machine that is larger on the inside than the outside and is supposed to change its appearance based on its surroundings. The Doctor is also able to evolve his biology, so he appears as many different people throughout the series. The Doctor loves Earth, so he makes many trips here to save the planet, or to enlist earthlings to help him with tasks in the galaxy.

Dan Martin Guardian The Mind Robber throws hard sci-fi out of the window. It's an exercise that revels in pure fantasy. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Christopher Bahn AV Club "The War Games" doesn't resolve neatly or satisfyingly, very much on purpose-instead, it ends with a stunning defeat in which the Doctor loses his friends, his freedom, and even his life, since his forced regeneration is essentially a death sentence. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review James Peaty Den of Geek That story ushered in both Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor and the dawn of colour. However, just as significantly, it also showed a great writer finally clicking with the show he was working on, and nothing would ever be the same again. Rated: 3/5 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Arnold T. Blumberg IGN Movies Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor cemented the potential of the show to run and run, but now -- at the end of Troughton's tenure -- the show was facing an almost insurmountable set of obstacles. Rated: 8/10 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Evan Sawdey PopMatters It's a pretty standard Who plot, but even with delicious internal conflict within the Dominator command chain itself, the whole story feels remarkably limp, as far too many characters are weaved into the plot over the course of five episodes. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Ross Ruediger Bullz-Eye.com Troughton's Doctor had a true sense of the magic of the universe about him, an attribute which trickled into his stories as well. Rated: 4/5 Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Georgan G Although much of this is only audio or fragments of video, it's still great. Doctor Who is one a kind! Not recommended for those watching for the first time. Highly recommended for Doctor Who freaks! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review Wolfgang B Doesn't start especially strong, but finishes excellently with Seeds of Death and War Games Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/23 Full Review Audience Member My absolute favorite of the 'Classic Era' Doctor who seasons. The stories are well crafted (mostly), the atmosphere is great, the monsters are aplenty, and we're treated to a whole season of my favorite companion duo 'Jamie and Zoe', along side some absolutely brilliant Troughton moments. If you're going to only pick one classic Doctor Who season to watch, I strongly recommend it's this one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought it was the weakest season in the second doctors run but still very solid. The war games was excellent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a thrilling season with a blockbuster ending! The season brought some of the best companion development we've seen yet. We are thrown more insight into the Doctor and his past like never before, and the show is set to change in its entirety once again. What is to become of the homeless madman with a box? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Can get boring, mostly due to lost episodes reconstructions that make the show more slow. There's still a whole lot of creativity here though, and it is worth watching if you're into Sci-Fi. One of the best serials is definitely The Mind Robber, with extremely creative settings and mysterious mysteries. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
