Review of Doctor Who - Inferno (DVD)

...set of the Jon Pertwee Doctor Who story "Inferno" As I was too young to remember Jon Pertwee as the doctor I managed to watch all of his stories from UK Gold at around 1993. There were some stories that stuck out in my mind that I thought were very good. Inferno was one of them.

...is one of the best Doctor who episodes to date. The story was the darkest of all the previous episodes giving the story a kick to it. The mirrior universe and primoids were an absolute perfect match of a story of this quality. The performances were through the roof. Jon Pertwees peformance was brilliant. He really did do some brilliant acting, especially when he was being serious. Also Nicholas Courtney's acting was an absolute hoot. His portryal ...
