This episode is hard to find and much disparaged, but it is actually one of the best stories ever presented on the long running series. In the folds of a seemingly standard monster/mad scientist tale we get glimpses of the role of the Time Lords in interstellar affairs, the horror of totalitarianism, and affects of telepathy. This is one of the few original series Dr. Who stories in which women play a prominent role and actually are the slayers of the villain.

I absolutely love this episode. It was written by Terrance Dicks, who gave a rough draft to the script editor Robert Holmes.

Because Robert ... Read More

Tom Baker admitted on his web page that this is rip off of Hammer Horror films.
Regardless of this, it very fun and entertaining! It has a lot of feeling and emotion in it as Solon (a mad scientest) tries to put the evil timelord Morbius in a new body -- only his brain has been living on big jar!
A lot happens in this very well known 4 parter story. Tom's head is examined by Solon, Sarah goes blind, sacrifices take place and everyone has an issue of missing limbs or "holy grails" ... Read More

I watched this story last night for the first time since seeing it on TV in the late seventies. What a great story! The sets were well done, the actors stayed within their roles (Who is known for actors hamming it up), and the music and script ideas are sufficiently eerie to make a great Gothic atmospheric piece. Philip Madoc, who also played a strong character known as The War Lord in The War Games, Troughton's last story as the full-time Doctor, played a convincing Doctor Frankenstein, though the character's ...
