1.Doctor Who - The Day Of The Daleks [1972] starring: Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning directed by: Paul Bernard
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £12.95
The ninth season of Doctor Who opened with a group of guerillas from earth in the twenty-third century, travelling back three hundred years in time. Their mission is to assassinate a British diplomat and sabotage a peace process. They believe that by doing so, they can prevent a great terror in the future. The Daleks return to Doctor Who after a five year absence. This is an enjoyable, if not classic, adventure from Pertwee's era. Pertwee and the regulars are all on fine form. A special mention must go to Aubrey Woods for a memorable strong performance as the Controller in the future earth, who must wrestle with his conscience. This was also the story which introduced the brutal Ogrons. There are some disappointments. The ... Read More:

2.Doctor Who - The Curse of Peladon [1963] starring: Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Lennie Manyne, David Troughton directed by: Barry Letts February 13, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.84
I'm an averagely enthusiastic fan of Pertwee/Manning but this was soooo dull. I fell asleep (literally) the first time I tried to watch this and gave up the second. It seems the Green Death is coming out on DVD soon. Wait for that, it's a far better effort if you can get past Jo wanting to marry the idiot at the end.

3.Doctor Who: The Master Tin Set - Colony In Space / Time Monster starring: Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Roger Delgado directed by: Michael E. Briant, Paul Bernard November 05, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £19.99
Personally I think these two stories are long overdue for DVD release. Whilst the earlier reviewer's comments about the quality of the stories are mostly true, I think that they're missing the point - as with much late sixties and early seventies 'Who' there IS a lot of padding, however, there is also a decent amount of dialogue, and interplay between the characters that is generally missing in today's high-speed, action-oriented Doctor Who. The (mostly) Earthbound Doctor and his UNIT colleagues have formed a tight-knit group by this stage in the series, and there is some particularly amusing badinage between The Doctor and The Brigadier and the latter and Sergeant Benton in `The Time Monster'. In one memorable scene The Brig sneers at The Doctor's ... Read More:

5.Doctor Who The Sea Devils [1995] [1963] starring: Jon Pertwee, Roger Delgado, Katy Manning, Edwin Richfield, Clive Morton directed by: Michael E. Briant September 04, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.99
The Sea devils is definitely one of the best jon stories. It has all the right and essential ingredients-good monsters, good acting and great cliff hangers. Jon Pertwee is on fine form as the Doctor, giving a cool and calculating performance as the Doc. And Roger Delgado gives one of his best performances too. Another thing about this story is the great sound track. creepy and modern at the same time. this is one of the few doctor who stories with real menace and tension. great story.

6.Doctor Who Frontier in Space [1973] [1963] starring: Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Roger Delgado directed by: Paul Bernard August 07, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.99
Frontier in Space (AKA The Space War) is a little gem from the latter days of Jon Pertwee's tenure as the eponymous Timelord and the last story to feature Roger Delgado as The Master, due to his being killed in a car crash in Turkey shortly after the story was filmed. The opening episode is superb - it is the year 2540 and someone seems determined to provoke a war between the two most powerful empires in the cosmos: Earth and Draconia. Arriving on board an Earth Spaceship, The Doctor and Jo are caught-up in these machinations, but see that the invading Draconians are really Ogrons - previously seen as brutal henchman of The Daleks. Someone is manipulating soundwaves to make people see what is not really there, in order to force the two governments into conflict and mutual ... Read More:

7.Doctor Who - The Mind of Evil [1963] starring: Jon Pertwee, Katy Manning, Timothy Combe directed by: Barry Letts May 05, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £21.26
It's a shame the previous reviewer wasn't actually paying much attention when watching this story. The Keller machine yes; Krendler machine..? Afraid I've never heard of it! This is another highlight from the Barry Letts/John Pertwee era of Doctor Who. Having previously only read the Target novelisation I wasn't quite sure what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. The insidious Master has, using an alter-ego, created a machine that supposedly 'cures' violent criminals and makes them fit for re-integration into society. The Brigadier despatches The Doctor and Jo Grant to witness the first demonstration of the machine in action and they see a hard-core thug become a seemingly sweet and gentle man. Of course, The Doctor is rightly suspicious, and when people who ... Read More:
