    A fitting tribute to the orignal Dr Who
    This Video hosted by Doctor 7 Sylvestor Mcoy is a very well made tribute to the orignal Doctor. It features the orignal pilot episode to the show, a great example of those historical episodes that were made in the 60s in the shape of the Crusade, and the final episode of the Classic celestial Toymaker.Like the missing years video is a great showcase for episodes that fans of the Doctor might never see.

    on the production side the script is well written and Mcoy makes a great presenter.
