Rating: - colin baker shines here
Colin Baker really dida great job during this season of the classic doctor who show.Any failings in these shows can be truly attributed to the bbc who was determined to kill the show.The men in charge hated sci fi as surely as the people at NBC did in 1969 with star trek.These are the type of men and women who look down on the whole genre.John Nathan Turner (1947-2002, RIP) the shows producer during the 1980's,cannot even be blamed for the shows demise or at least half the failings of ...

Rating: - "There's nothing you can do to prevent the catharsis of spurious morality!"
For anyone collecting DVD releases of classic Doctor Who, this nicely packaged box set is a rare, seldom-encountered oasis. Though there are good reasons and rationales for it, the normal release schedule can seem maddeningly random and haphazard at times. Such however is certainly not the case here with the 4-disc "Trial of a Time Lord" set, which includes all of 1986's season twenty-three in one complete and coherent whole. What a luxury, to watch an entire year of the show together in order! Of ... Read More
Rating:  - Doctor in Distress
The mystery intrinsic to the character of The Doctor began to leak out of the series with Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor. As the character began to reflect Baker's interests (and ego) rather than the other way around, lasting damage was done. It's no coincidence that the only other season-long epic in the show's history, "The Key to Time," was Baker's weakest series, in part because the tendency of the star to overshadow his character was abetted by some of the weakest stories in his era.

Rating:  - A review of the DVD rather than of the Story
So far, all the reviews have been about the actual 14-episode story on this DVD.Let me start by quickly saying how much I love this season-long epic.I know, I know...it has its flaws, it was riddled with behind-the-scenes turmoil which kept the story from really coming together onscreen, some of the trial scenes simply don't make sense, etc.....but I still love everything about it.I've always loved Colin's portrayal of the Doctor and I think some of his best work is in this season.He was obviously ...

Rating: - Trials and Tribulations
I actually really liked the sixth Doctor, and I realize that this puts me very much in the minority.His portrayal of the Doctor was fresh, is arrogance taken to new heights.This storyline, very reminiscent of War Games in scope and grandeur, was aiming for EPIC, and in many ways it succeeded.The story and sets are engaging.Collin is in top form.Some of the storylines don't exactly end, or do so quickly and in ways that just seem off(the send off of a particualr character seems rushed).Still, a ...
