"When you travel around as much as I do, it's almost inevitable that you'll run into yourself at some point."

When the Doctor (Colin Baker) lands on a space station in the Third Zone, he suspects he's been there before and when he discovers his old assistant - Jamie - he's certain. Accompanied by Jamie and his present assistant Peri, the Doctor follows himself (Patrick Troughton) to 20th Century Seville. There he discovers his old enemeies, the Sontarans, about to dissect him in a genetic operation.

But just why are they operating on the Doctor? And how will their findings aid their enslavement of the universe? Deadly questions to which the Doctors must find answers in order to escape their own excruciating death...

'What's the use of a good quotation if you can't change it?' – The Doctor

The Doctor and Jamie investigate experiments in time travel on the Space Station Camera. Then they become under
attack by the Sontarans. The Doctor and Peri come to the same space station. And get themselves into a series of
events. Witch could end the universe!

I am not going to say much about the script. Because as you know, if you have seen any of my reviews which mention Robert Holmes, his scripts are the best!

Colin Baker done us a very good episode. The rest of the actors were very good as well. I am very glad that Patrick Troughton and Frazer Hines had come back.

DVD EXTRAS:

Easter Egg
There is one Easter egg on this DVD. Clean opining titles! This is very good! This is how you can get to it. On the main menu on disc 1, left click on where it says ‘PLAY
ALL’. A green ‘Doctor Who’ logo will come on. Click on it. Sorry if it does not work on your DVD player.

Commentary
This commentary by Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Frazer Hines, Jacqueline Pearce and Peter Moffatt is really good! One of the best so far.

A Fix With Sontarans
A made my self from crying with lifter!

Behind The Sofa With Robert Holmes And Doctor Who
This documentary tells you about Robert Holmes’ time of ‘Doctor Who’. This is one of the beast features.

Beneath The Lights
This is a studio recording of the making of ‘The Two Doctors’. To be onset, I found this a little boring!

Beneath The Sun
This is a 35min loo at the locations of ‘The Two Doctors’. This was a good feature.

Adventures In Time And Spain
The Production Manger Gary Downie shoes you the making of the episode. It was ok. Not one of the best features.

Wave Length
This goes on for half an hour and was made for schools. It shows you the making of ‘The Two Doctors’.

Music Only
Very Good! This lets you view the episode with just the music.

Production Subtitles
You know what this is!

Photo Gallery
I liked this feature. Not to bad.

Digitally Remastered Picture And Sound Quality
Wait, this is not a special feature!

Overall this DVD is not too bad.
