Doctor Who Reviews

Welcome to my Doctor Who Reviews page. I'm an American fan who saw and taped most of the episodes on PBS in the 1980s. Now, I've started watching from the very beginning and reviewing the episodes as I go along. For the most part, I'm relying on my old tapes of the episodes in "movie" format; if I'm watching a BBC DVD or video release, I'll make note of that in the review. (I won't be reviewing the Big Finish Audios like Tymelord, whose site partially inspired me to attempt this.)

Below you can find a list of all the episodes. I've included the missing episodes in "dimmed" text so as to avoid confusion. If I've reviewed an episode, the title will appear as a link with my star rating (on a scale of zero to four) next to it.
