The Five Doctors

This Story: Series 20, Story 7. Production Code 6K
Overall: Story 130, Episode 608 (was a 90 min special)
Airdates: 23 Nov 1983 (US, 25 Nov 1983 UK)
Written by Terrance Dicks
Directed by Peter Moffatt

NOTE: As originally broadcast, this was a single 90 minute special.  However, in syndication, it is split up into four parts (with really bad cliffhangers).  I am using the original broadcast format (of one “episode”) for my review.

This is a landmark for me. When first started watching #DoctorWho originally, this was the first one I watched, so getting here in the Marathon is a big point for me. It's the 20th anniversary pic.twitter.com/YDPrBvRe8M

special which featured all five Doctors. The story is kind of wonky in places, it basically serves as a giant fanservice thing to get all the cameos on screen. Don't care - was fun! pic.twitter.com/BDagR4alQQ

We finally get Pertwee w/a Cyberman. Hartnell had to be recast as he died 8yrs prior. We got a new console in this ep, and the concept of a new regeneration cycle originated here. pic.twitter.com/MGBwYjMZbX
