In particular there is a great, spectacular stunt when an auton is knocked down and falls dramatically, careering down a huge slope, apparently to its death, only to just get straight back up.jon pertwee remains on top form along with an excellent guest cast and all the regulars do well although it is sad that the character of the doctor's 'assistant' liz shaw is replaced. her replacement character jo grant goes on to be a very endearing character but liz shaw was the better companion for the doctor in my opinion with a strong intellect as well as bravery. the addition of captain mike yates is great but perhaps they transferred the strength and intelligence of liz shaw onto yates and passed the glamour and warmth of liz onto jo grant.

If audio dramas are taken into account, she is one of three characters (the other two being trinity wells and the french newsreader) to appear in doctor who, the sarah jane adventures, and torchwood. jo never appeared in the regular doctor who comic strip in tv comic and/or tv action, as katy manning did not want her likeness used in any merchandising. however, world distributors (manchester), ltd were able to feature the character in their doctor who annuals for 1974 and 1975, providing they did not use manning's likeness.

This finally gives mcgann his regeneration episode. the big finish references are nice, effectively canonising that great set of adventures, and it certainly fits into the character of the eighth doctor, now broken down by his experiences. great to see karn again, which fits into the new eighth doctor adventures where the doctor met the sisterhood.

The coup of getting john hurt to be the doctor was fantastic and well worth the required invention of an extra doctor and this little story makes perfect sense as the doctor is on the point of death and is given a choice of regeneration characteristics by the sisterhood of karn who had previously appeared in the classic 4th doctor story the brain of morbius. he realises a different kind of person is required to fight in the time war and so becomes the war doctor. we get a little glimpse of a younger john hurt as the newly regenerated doctor.the excitement of this idea and of showing hurt arrive is matched by the thrill of mcgann getting a tv appearance to follow on from his mostly audio based stories.
