Back in 1973, the 10th anniversary for the series Doctor Who was quickly approaching - and the writers wanted to do something different. Several outspoke fans had always wondered if there would be a meeting between the current (third) Doctor and his two previous incarnations, and this time their wishes would be answered. With the Time Lords themselves under attack, and a strange force trying to annihilate UNIT HQ, the Doctor is forced to team up with himself twice over in order to try and figure out exactly what is happening. Who is this 'Omega,' and why is he so intent on taking out the Time Lords? Can the Doctors (all of him) stop this madman before he makes the Doctor the last of his race? The writing for this serial is masterful, and the acting is just as great. The interaction between Jon Pertwee (third Doctor) and Patrick Troughton (second Doctor) are a delight to see, particularly when people begin to question if they are 'cut from the same cloth,' as it were. I personally particularly enjoyed the villain Omega - especially the dramatic reveals centered around him during the end. While special effects were limited during the day, the acting more than carries it off splendidly. A seriously wonderful effort from everyone involved here - but I'm not gonna spoil the ending for those who've yet to see it... Of course, this being a BBC Release, there's a plethora of extras to be found on this disc. In addition to the regular feature, we also have a commentary track featuring Katy Manning (Jo), Nicholas Courtney (the Brigadier) and producer Barry Letts. However, unlike the other releases of Doctor Who, there is no 'making of' special for more insight on how things were made. Instead, the BBC gives us some delightful other bonuses - including interviews with the late Jon Pertwee (as well as Katy Manning and Nicholas Courtney) from PanoptiCon '93 and interviews with much of the cast and crew involved with putting this whole thing together. A few other scenes from Blue Peter focusing on the Whomobile and another interview with the late Patrick Troughton rounds out the release. Much like my reivew on the 25th Anniversary release of the Five Doctors (making it a 45th Annniversary special, believe it or not), if you're a fan of Doctor Who... you just have to have this one. The writing, acting and... just everything about this release is top-notch. A must-have for any Who fan with a DVD player.Read full review
I am personally a Whovian. sure there are Star Wars fans, and Star Trek fans, but I have always found Doctor Who to be the greatest of them all, especially with over 15 years of episodes to watch. here is a time Lord with the power to do anything he wants, and he goes around the galaxy saving the universe, and his pet people us earthlings as well. of course the quality of action is not what you expect in today's movies, but overall these are some great classics and I suggest you add them to your archive today, and help the tradition continue.
A real gem of a treat for any true long-time Doctor fan. Not only do you get the first Doctor, but his second and third regeneration selves as well. The Time-Lords cross his time lines so all three of him-self can exist in one place at the same time. As for the reason and story plot, I won`t give these away. An EXCELLENT early classic. Fans of the current Doctor( the 10th) will enjoy seeing the Doctor`s personalities clash with him-self. A MUST HAVE for any "DOCTOR WHO" fan.

I collect Doctor Who memorabelia and already had the 5 doctors special. So when I saw The Three Doctors was available I wanted to add it to my collection. I'm very glad I did. If you are a Doctor Who fan this is a must for your collection. It was great, full of classic dr who moments and the first time that William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, and Jon Pertwee were in the same episode. I highly reccomend this to any true dr who fan.
