4.0 out of 5 stars Season 16 Not Complete May 29, 2011

By ATAngel

The season as displayed here is incomplete. Season 16 consists of: The Ribos Operation, The Pirate Planet, The Stones of Blood, The Androids of Tara, The Power of Kroll, and The Armageddon Factor.

This listing (on the date of this posting), was missing The Stones of Blood and The Androids of Tara (they are available at Amazon for purchase as DVDs apparently, or Netflix for rental)

This is a season that is referred to as the Key to Time story arc, and there are six pieces to the "key" only four pieces/story arcs are are listed here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Key to Time season May 14, 2013

By I read a lot

Format:Amazon Instant Video

4 episodes of the "Ribos Operation", 4 episodes of the Pirate Planet, 4 episodes of the Power of Kroll, and 6 episodes of the Armageddon Factor. This Starts off with the Doctor finding and eventually at the end using the "Key to Time". this is the most number of episodes you will get for your money. The quality of the color and audio are great. HOWEVER we don't get to see how the doctor gets the 2nd key to time and I remember also we got to see him and Romana put the key segments together. These episodes do not show anyone putting the pieces together. Otherwise i'd have given it 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The main reason I signed up for Prime February 10, 2013

By J. Romain

Format:Amazon Instant Video

I've been a Doctor Who fan for almost 30 years. While the classic shows can't match the newer ones for production values, they exude a simple charm and nostalgia that I really like. The classic Doctor Who shows are why I signed up for Prime.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice to see the orgins of Doctor Who

Although I would give the modern Doctor Who 5 stars, it is harder to watch older sci-fi for me. I know a lot of people prefer older shows. Tom Baker is awesome.
