Description:
The Doctor and UNIT are called upon to investigate strange events surrounding Dr. Tyler's research into cosmic rays. UNIT HQ comes under attack by an alien force, and the Doctor has no other option but to call on the Time Lords for help. The Time Lords, too, are under attack - from a mysterious power emanating from a black hole in space. With power reserves falling, the only way they can help the Doctor is to break the First Law of Time and allow him to help himself. The First and Second Doctors are lifted out of their time streams and sent to Earth to help the Third. Between the three of them, they must find a solution to the threat that not only endangers UNIT and Earth, but also the future of the Time Lords themselves.

Made to mark the series' tenth anniversary, Doctor Who: The Three Doctors finds Jon Pertwee's Third Doctor teaming up with the Patrick Troughton and William Hartnell incarnations to battle a universe-threatening foe. Omega (played by an excellent Stephen Thorne) is the Timelord who gave his race the power necessary for time travel. Long presumed dead, he is actually trapped in an antimatter universe inside a black hole, and is scheming an epic revenge. Set in UNIT HQ, Omega's domain, and a chalk pit, Bob Baker and David Martin's yarn is both nonsensical and more wildly ambitious than the BBC effects unit could possibly visualize, so much so that the best moments come with the metaphysically chilling scene when Omega is unmasked, and in the bickering rivalry between Pertwee and Troughton. Sadly, Hartnell was seriously ill with arteriosclerosis, so his brief scenes were all taped in a day and played on a monitor in the TARDIS, the reason given that the First Doctor is trapped in a 'time eddy.' If hardly a classic, this is still a meatier tale than 'The Two Doctors' (1985), which starred Troughton and Colin Baker, and features ever-dependable support from Katy Manning as Jo Grant and Nicholas Courtney as the Brigadier. --Gary S. Dalkin
