The Second Doctor Was Great, 23 June 2003
Author: Irelander from Derry, Ireland

Breaking the Timelords first law of time... five doctors in a deadly game...

This was a fun thing to watch, as a fan of the 2nd and 4th Docs I was gutted that Tom Backer turn the show down.

The Late and Great Patick Troughton was Great, it was like he never left the role as The Doctor...

I'd also note that the other Doctors do good jobs in this Classic tale. They ensure you are having a fun watch from start to finish.

With all the old baddies and a lot of the doctor's old sidekicks, this is a must see for all and any Doctor Who Fans.

Enjoy The Show.
