This story is mostly about the novelty of being the first multi-Doctor story. Produced for the show's 10th season launch (despite the 10th anniv not for 10 months after this), pic.twitter.com/DykvEjXnyM

it's a fun time. The story isn't the strongest, but the general fun environment combined with having Hartnell, Troughton, & Pertwee together is worth the price of admission. pic.twitter.com/F9gREhNK57

More multi Doctor fun here, although the best moment came in Ep1 (Dandy & A Clown). Shame that Hartnell was quite unwell, as he was restricted to just appearing on screens. Doc3 pic.twitter.com/E6K4KWf0Q7

is transported to the antimatter universe, leaving Two with UNIT. Leads to some funny interactions with the Brig. The ep ends with Two and the Tardis being transported w/Brig. pic.twitter.com/4Ta5Xn9ZRp

We finally get to the big bad here - Omega. A scientist who helped to found Time Lord society. He's gone quite mad, but.. That's not what this story is about to me. It's seeing pic.twitter.com/sKxmHPZ7N0

Pertwee/Troughton snipe at each other. Two & Troughton is a fun combination, too. Omega is quite shouty! Most of the other characters don't do much. Ep has an odd cliffhanger. pic.twitter.com/8StHdtwo1N

I have to say again - not the best story, and some of the CSO effects are painful. But man, such a fun time. Sad that this was Hartnell's final acting gig, he was super sick, pic.twitter.com/eXaghsFZAV

and died less than 2yrs later. REALLY loved the interactions between Pertwee & Troughton. Nick Courtney is a lot of fun here too. That's my takeaway - 4 fun eps! #OmegaShouty pic.twitter.com/LqUa5UHOaP
