Dated: 20th of May, 2011
Well here it is the next in the Doctor Who Revisitations series, and what a great collection it is.
We start the collection with a wonderful episode from the time of the second Doctor Patrick Troughton. This is one of my favourite episodes from the 2nd Doctor's era, and features the wonderful Ice Warriors. In this story the Ice Warriors have left Mars and are intent on taking over the earth. I find it rather interesting that of all the old villain's/monsters that have been brought back for the new relaunched Doctor Who that they haven't found a way to bring the Ice Warriors back, although they did make mention of them in the Doctor Who special 'Waters of Mars', but hopefully they will soon make their reappearance (Steven Moffatt are you listening??????).
The second story in the collection is a John Pertwee story. Now I had not seen this story before, but it seemed to me to be an almost prophetic episode with it's similarities to our current unfathomable interest in reality TV. Now I didn't really get into this episode as well as I have with most of the other Doctor Who DVD releases, and personally I would have liked to see another John Pertwee Doctor Who story like maybe Inferno or The Green Death.
The third story is of course a Peter Davison story, and as many of you will know by now Mr Davison is of course one of my favourite Doctors, and this story of course gets even better as it brings back everyone's favourite baddie the Daleks, but this time the Daleks are in a bad way and are getting whipped by another race called Movellans, and so the Daleks must find their old creator Davros to help save them. This story also marked the last appearance for Tegan (Janet Fielding).
There are of course the obligatory Commentaries for each story, but my favourite extra had to be the Come in Number Five special, a retrospective look at the time in the TARDIS of Peter Davison, and even better yet it was presented by one of my other favourite Doctors David Tennant 
.
Now I just can't wait to see what they have in store for Revisitations 3.....
