5.0 out of 5 stars Doctor Who and the first Download September 18, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase
Doctor who materialised without his Tardis on this, my first timelord download in the amazon unbox, which is much larger on the inside than it appears on the outside.

For a very reasonable sum, $1.99, my family and I were able to enjoy the first Third doctor adventure after his regeneration, where he encounters the Nestene Conciousness.

The down load took only a few minutes although I had some considerable difficulty installing the microsoft program. thanks to the good people at amazon tech support I was able to obtain an alternative download from the gates empire itself which allowed me to enjoy our rental.

a great experience and will not be the last. easy to navigate and fun for all the family. someone should tell the timelords on gallifrey about unbox and perhaps they could get rid of all the old type 40 tardis'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good classic episode. June 5, 2013

I grew up on Tom Baker, and it was years later I saw my first Jon Pertwee episodes. He takes a bit of getting used to, but is great as the doctor. This episode was fun to watch.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only the first 4 shows of the "Season" May 14, 2013
Format:Amazon Instant Video
Quality wise the showing was great. However the person responsible for saying the word "Season" should be given a grade school test on what the word season means. If I could give the editors/ programmers/ and copyright people a rating I would give them half a star. 4 (I can count) episodes on Season 7 is not worth anything

5.0 out of 5 stars My First Doctor February 10, 2013
Format:Amazon Instant Video
It's was Pertwee that got me hooked. Years ago I was channel surfing late one night and came across this fantastic show on PBS. Feel in love with it instantly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Who season 7 February 26, 2013
Format:Amazon Instant Video
It was quite enjoyable as are most Dr. Who shows. Although I am not a sci-fi guy as a rule that show is sort of contagious. I go all the way back to the fifth doctor. I think his name is Tom Baker, a tall fellow with a long scarf.
