 Rating:  - A GREAT 20th ANNIVERSARY SPECIALThis episode is one of those rare occasions where the then current doctor meets his previous selves.This time its Peter Davison(the 5th doctor)meeting with his other selves.Sadly William Hartnell (the 1st doctor)had passed away by the time this was made,so another actor takes his place.He is no Hartnell,but is adequate .Patrick Troughton(the 2nd doctor)and Jon pertwee reprise their roles with aplomb.The Brigadier puts in an appearance and is his usual self.Unfortunately Tom Baker-the 4th,and best doctor-is only in it for 2 minutes,and doesnt get to meet any of his alter egos.He would have made this episode even better.There is very little plot here,but there are some great scenes involving the daleks,the cybermen,the master and of course,the 5 doctors. Rating: - Really should have been the 3 doctors!No William Hartnell, No Tom Baker (except from footage from the uncompleted episode Shada). But still the man replacing Hartnell does a good job and they definetly fill it in with as many old companions and enemys as possible. Its story may be confusing at times and the special effects dated but still a very enjoyable 90 minuites and its great too see Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee and Peter Davidson on screen together. Definetly worth getting! Rating:  - A Who-ite’s dream.One by one, the earlier four incarnations of the Doctor are being plucked out of the space-time continuum, and placed into the dreaded Death Zone. Originally used by the Time Lords for organizing gladiatorial matches between various races, Rassilon closed the Death Zone, and forbade the use of the Time Scoop. So, who is doing this, and more importantly, why? It’s up to the Doctor (all of them) to figure it out. This movie is a “Who-ite’s” dream. Four of the five Doctors are present, with Richard Hurndall performing very well as the formidable first Doctor. Many companions appear, including Turlough, Tegan, Susan (the Doctor’s Granddaughter), Sarah Jane, the Brigadier, Mike Yates, Liz Shaw, Jamie, Zoe, and K-9. Plus, of course, the Master (played by Anthony Ainley). It is a shame that Tom Baker refused to be involved in this production, but he is reasonably represented by scenes taken from the never-completed episode Shada. I recommend this movie absolutely to any fan of Doctor Who.  Try searching the Internet for "Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]" or Ebay for "Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]".
