5.0 out of 5 stars Ghost Light rocked June 26, 2012
By Big dan's comics
Amazon Verified Purchase
Ghost light was truly one of the smartest episodes of the entire run. It not only gave a wonderful synopsis of how aliens would observe and grade us(feels like being back in school),but also gave a notion that humans aren't always the top of the food chain. I will be honest,I had to watch through the serial twice to really pick up all of the nuances of the story and of course comedic moments(see preacher with a banana). The is truly a multi-layered story that helps a little with the explanation of companion Ace and leaves her knowing that she has been a good guy all along. No matter what she thought. This is definitely not a starter episode of the uninitiated to the series but will give a great amount of joy to long time fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Classic Dr Who March 5, 2013
By Daniac
Format:Amazon Instant Video
I enjoy the current Dr Who series so I thought I would try the classic version. I have to say I am not wild about it and am surprised that it lasted as long as it has.
