Premise: Who is kidnapping the Doctor from his time streams and placing him in the Death Zone on Gallifrey? As friends team up against old enemies, the answer may lie in Rassilon's Tomb...
Notes: To celebrate the twentieth anniversary of Doctor Who, this TV Movie was made and saw Jon Pertwee and Patrick Troughton reprise their roles while the first Doctor was portrayed by Richard Hurndall as the original actor, William Hartnell, had died but was still credited for a clip taken from the Dalek Invasion of Earth. Tom Baker did not reprise his role so footage from the cancelled serial Shada was used to make up for this.
Verdict: Although underrated, it's a fairly enjoyable story with a decent plot. It is great to see Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee again (both as good as ever) and Richard Hurndall really captures the feel of the first Doctor. It may be rushed in places but overall it's a great way to celebrate two decades of Doctor Who 8/10
