- A decent reinvention
"The War Machines" in some ways reinvented Doctor Who.
It proved you could tell interesting and suspenseful stories in a modern setting without needing to resort to the future or alien worlds.
The story itself is perhaps "a bit much", as was much sci-fi from this period (not just Who).A too-smart-for-its-own-good computer hypnotizes humans into building War Machines with which it will take over the world.
Yawn.
The story notwithstanding, the ... Read More
Rating: - Doctor Who: War Machines
The product was delivered in good time and in excellent condition.It was an addition to a collection and, as such, is of great value to me despite limitaions in the content.It was an Early Who and therefore had some problems with story line and special effects, but it was a part of a large series and very important to my collection.PRD

- LOVE IT
ONE OF THE GREATEST DOCTOR WHO EPISODES EVER FROM THE SIXTIES. I LIKE WILLIAM HARTNELL AFTER TOM BAKER AND JON PERTWEE. I LIKE AN UNEARTHLY CHILD (DEBUT EPISODE THAT AIRED IN THE U.K. THE DAY AFTER JFK WAS ASSASSINATED). IT WAS THE FOUNDATION FOR THE SERIES 26 YEAR RUN WAR MACHINES IS THE HEART OF THE FIRST DOCTOR. THIS EPISODE AIRED FROM EARLY TO MID SUMMER IN 1966 (IN THE U.K.).

I recently bought this one on DVD and loved it. My favorite stories to watch are usually in between Seasons 3-18 of the original series. This one ended season 3. My first William Hartnell story that I bought was on VHS and it was "The Tenth Planet" which came shortly after this one and introduced the Cybermen. It was also William Hartnell's last story and the first to feature a regeneration. I loved it too. That's why I decided to give this one a try since the story idea of this one came from the ...

Rating: - The Elusive Ben and Polly Episodes
Oddly enough the only full story arc to feature companions Ben and Polly (and the abrupt departure of the un-accepted Dodo Chaplet) happens to be their very first adventure with the Doctor.Ben and Polly were brought to the show to bring a more young and hip perspective to the 1966 series (as Dodo ended up being... well the name says it all).Ben and Polly were probably the best pair of companions and the first companions to witness a 'regeneration' when William Hartnell left the series and Patrick ...
