A lot of people think it's cool to disrespect the Fifth these days. I spent the last 20 years (not all of it, obviously) rewatching a few stories about Mr. Davison's Doctor (Earthshock, Five Doctors, Resurrection of the Daleks and caves of Androzani) and so I'm left with the impression he was damn fine. I recently started to collect the rest of his era and while he had his ebbs and flows (like all the Doctors) he just never ceases to impress with that cool, charming, dashing Cricketer who has a vulnerable ...

Although I watched this over 20 years after its broadcast, I felt compelled to watch it after years and years of growing up with a copy of Logopolis.
The story starts with Tom Baker's demise from the previous story - Logopolis - and the regeneration prior to the starting titles. Does anyone else feel a slight betrayal in the titles showing Peter Davison's face??
The story focuses on the Doctor's recovery from regeneration, while the Master is bent on his destruction.
Problems with the story ...

Working brilliantly together, as an unintentional trilogy, the three consecutive stories of Keeper of Traken, Logopolis and Castrovalva firmly establish Anthony Ainley as the new master, even if his performance here and in later stories does descend a little into pantomime territory.

After the distressing demise of the Fourth Doctor (Tom Baker)in Logopolis, this story is just what the Doctor ordered! Peter Davison plays the role for the first time with warmth and integrity - his disorientation after regeneration is very well acted. Castrovalva has the added bonus of being the second story in a row to feature the marvellously evil Master, and is one of the stongest stories of the Doctor's Fifth incarnation. I particularly liked the idea of the harmonious and peaceful society being infiltrated ...

One of the best episodes of Doctor Who that I have seen. Peter Davidson to me was the best Doctor, he had charm, wit and a soft side. I have seen this episde many times, it is great the way they get locked in a loop of infinity, a simple and easy episode to produce but never the less one of the best. The Master plays a very cunning part in this episode disguising himself in different ways. He is my favourite enemy of the Doctors. Anyway, not to give too much away - watch it,you will not be disapointed.
