Product Description

From Amazon.com

The six-episode "Time Monster" was the final story of the ninth season of Doctor Who, a strong run that also saw Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor in "The Day of the Daleks" and "The Sea Devils." The Master, Roger Delgado, is at the Newton Institute, experimenting with a fragment of crystal, which can summon Kronos, a time-eating entity from beyond space-time. The Doctor, Jo Grant (Katy Manning), and UNIT become involved in a sequence of strange temporal dislocations, eventually leading to ancient Atlantis itself. There Jo faces the Minotaur, played by Dave Prowse in a bull mask five years before he found fame as Darth Vader. "The Time Monster" is classic Doctor Who at its most surreal, the effects ranging from mediocre to functional, the Atlantis sets surprisingly lavish. The Doctor may escape from eternity by playing the scriptwriting equivalent of a get-out-of-jail-free card, but the sequence, in which his TARDIS is inside the Master's TARDIS, while the Master's TARDIS is simultaneously inside the Doctor's TARDIS, is a mind-bending highlight. --Gary S. Dalkin

4.0 out of 5 stars Oddly watchable, Jun 8 2003
By 
Yes, I know it's as corny as a tin of bully beef, but there is an odd aspect to this one. I did a course in relativity a year or two back, and it was notable that it started with the historical background, Newtonian physics, and some propositions about space and time. One of these was the continuity of space, and the isotropy of space. Only then did it go onto the usual stuff about electrodynamics, and Lorentz and so forth. It has to be said that these are "a priori" assumptions that undergird an awful lot of subsequent mathematics, and I did think while reading that material that this story was a direct challenge to these assumptions. Granular, or interstitial time? Maybe not so crazy, who knows. I am still fascinated by the geometric paradoxes of box (a) inside box (b), inside box (a), and so forth. I remember reading through a heap of books on Homotopy and Homology at Uni, just because way back when I was 8 or so, this story came along. Still don't know if there isn't something in all this that might stand up. And it's maybe true, that in spite of all the horrible stage work, and cak handed acting, these ideas are actually the main grip here, and are the things that back up the story. Because you just can't write the whole thing off... not quite...

1.0 out of 5 stars End of Pier Show Shenanigans, Jan 13 2011
This review is from: Doctor Who: The Time Monster - Episode 64 (DVD)
I literaly fell off my couch laughing at this tosh, I adore the Pertwee era but this is probably one of the worst examples of early 70s Doctor Who. One dimensional characters,flimsy sets,threadbare affects, ropey dialogue, an erratic plot,an even more hysterical Master than usual, and probably the worst acroynm in Doctor Who history - TOMTIT. (Sid James would have cackled at that one...) This era served up a few overlong duds, Ambassadors of Death springs to mind, this one fits into that bracket. For collectors mostly. Hide it if you are having guests over for dinner.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good story maybe a bit padded and comical at times, Jan 26 2004
By 
Martin Richards "hawkfanatic" (Sheboygan, WI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Basically a decent story with some great performances maybe this story goes on too long. Additionally the "Monster: suffers as many of the 70's stories. The monster is as scary as a man in a sheet and too many of the early scenes repeat similar themes indicating padding. However basically a good story, the Master is in great form and I'm always happy to see Ingrid Pitt.
