Green Death (UK DVD)

The
Three Doctors (DVD)
|
|
Earth,
South Wales. The suspicious death of a miner at the inactive local pit
owned by the mysterious Global Chemicals brings UNIT to sleepy Llanfairfach.
There, a local green group - the Wholeweal Community under the leadership
of the brilliant Professor Jones - are not convinced of Global's innocence
in the affair. Could the waste products from their revolutionary new
oil refining process be at fault? Jones is convinced but the Doctor
is not so sure and a dangerous expedition down the mine confirms his
fears.
For there,
thosands of giant maggots lie gestating - a dangerously unknown terror
waiting to be unleashed upon the world. But by whom? Just who is the
power behind Global Chemicals? Who or what is the Boss? And what are
his/its plans for the Earth? The Doctor, Jo and the Brigadier must move
quickly to find the answers, for the death toll is already rising and
the gestation period of the maggots down the mine is coming to an end.

A
gel-like plasma creature arrives on Earth and hunts down the Doctor,
who calls on The Time Lords for help. The Time Lords themselves are
in crisis as their energy is being drawn off into a black hole. They
send the Doctor's earlier selves to join him. The first Doctor, caught
in a time eddy and able only to advise, deduces that the creature is
a time bridge. The third Doctor and Jo then give themselves up to it
and are transported to a world of antimatter beyond the black hole.
On Earth,
the second Doctor is forced to take refuge in the TARDIS along with
the Brigadier and Sergeant Benton. He switches off the ship's force
field, and the whole UNIT building is transported through the black
hole. Behind these events is Omega, a figure from the Time Lord history
whose solar engineering provided the power for time travel.

Doctor (Jon Pertwee) and Jo (Katy Manning) take the TARDIS on a test flight.
They arrive on a cargo ship, the SS Bernice, which seems to be crossing
the Indian Ocean in 1926. In fact, the ship and its crew have been miniaturised
and trapped inside a microscope - a banned entertainment peepshow - on
the planet Inter Minor. After moving through to another section and being
surprised by ferocious Drashigs, the Doctor eventually breaks out of the
scope and reverts to full size. The Doctor's efforts to rescue Jo, still
trapped in the scope, makes for a thrilling episode.

The
Five Doctors (DVD) featuring Jon Pertwee
|
The
Time Warrior (DVD) 1973
|
The
world's longest-running science-fiction series celebrated its 20th anniversary
with this special feature-length story - a glorious reunion of all five
Doctors and many of their infamous enemies and companions. A place of
ancient evil feared throughout the universe - the Death Zone on Gallifrey.
Abandoned for centuries it is now re-activated by someone who dares to
play the deadly game of Rassilon once again. The first five incarnations
of the Doctor have been snatched from their Time-Streams; the fourth Doctor
(Tom Baker) is trapped in the Time/Space Vortex and the others, aided
by old friends, must cross the Death Zone, reach the Tomb of Rassilon
and discover the final secret of the first Time Lord President... before
all the Doctors are pulled into the vortex forever. But old adversaries
are also active in the Death Zone - a Dalek, a Yeti, a deadly Raston Warrior
Robot, a troop of Cybermen and the evil renegade Time Lord known as the
Master. They all stand between the Doctors and their goal...  |
The
mysterious disappearance of several top scientists sends Doctor Who back
in time to the Middle Ages where a stranded Sontaran fleet commander is
preparing to wage a high tech war. |
|
The
Claws of Axos
|
Inferno
(2 DVD set)
|
A
mysterious Axon spaceship lands on Earth. Claiming that they need time
to repair their damaged ship, the Doctor is dubious of the Axon's intentions,
and investigates the real motives for their visit.  |
An
experiment gone awry sends the Doctor (Jon Pertwee) to a parallel universe
where his friends and companions are members of a fascist regime in this
thrilling and popular episode from the long-running science fiction series
Doctor Who. Inferno is the name of a project designed to drill into the
Earth's core and release a powerful energy source called Stahlman's Gas;
what's yielded instead is an insidious substance that transforms men into
monsters. The resulting chaos interrupts the Doctor's travel in the TARDIS
and knocks him into an alternate Earth run by a military dictatorship,
and where Project Inferno's progress threatens to bring about an apocalypse.
This seven-part story arc from 1970 is a high-water mark for the already
superb Pertwee-era Doctor, a tense, imaginative adventure that evokes
the U.K.'s chilling Quatermass TV productions and movies in its mix of
science fiction and horror. Fans will particularly appreciate the opportunities
afforded to longtime Who supporting players Nicholas Courtney (as the
Brigadier) and Caroline John (as the Doctor's companion Liz) to step outside
their usual roles and essay memorably villainous turns as their parallel-Earth
selves.
