This is a 1972 opening series of the tenth season of Doctor Who, and is
the first in which a prior Doctor comes back. It features the first
three Doctors, who are brought together by the Time Lords as the home
world of the Time Lords is under attack, and their energy is being
sapped into a black hole. Because of this attack, the Time Lords go
against their own rules, and put the three Doctors together to attack
the threat. The Doctors are played by John Pertwee (third and current
to movie Doctor) Patrick Troughton (second) and first William Hartnell
(First). The first Doctor is not able to materialize, due to
insufficient energy, but appears on a view screen. He is often the most
level headed, and is sent to calm the other two down. As the first two
get together, they become engaged in a rivalry, which hinders their
effectiveness. The stream in the black whole is sent to find a Time
Lord. The Doctors eventually discern that they need to follow the
stream, and so they do so. There the find an old Time Lord Omega, who
helped establish the Time Lord realm to begin with, but all thought he
had sacrificed himself in an explosion. His "will" has allowed him to
exist where nothing should exist, in a black whole which is made of
antimatter. However as his "will" is what allows him to exist, he
cannot leave. He has brought the Time Lord to force them to use their
will so he can leave. However he has gone made, and actually the
particles have destroyed his body, so he is an empty suit of armor.
Omega has accidentally brought many friends and others from Earth to the
black whole, in his attempts to find a Time Lord. He agrees to send
them back, if the two Doctor Who's stay. They agree. However the use
Omega's insanity and anger against him, and are realized, and restored
to their natural spot, when Omega is set free through death. The black
hole becomes a star.
I found this entertaining. The soldiers of the world created have
interesting weapons, but they seem to always miss. Their appearance is
somewhat grotesque. They energy being which is sending everyone to the
black hole is a interesting special effect.
