Review: "The Trial of a Time Lord"
Wednesday November 26, 2008
Season 23 of the original Doctor Who came out on DVD recently after a gap of over two decades – and that lapse of time has given the key players in the twisted story of Colin Baker's last season some interesting perspectives on what happened to the show and why.
"The Trial of a Time Lord" on DVD is the ideal resource for fans of classic Doctor Who who want to know the whole story behind the show's most controversial Doctor, Colin Baker, and the twists and turns of his final season on the air.
Though the 14 episodes of season 23 are of varying quality, they contain many of Baker's best moments in the show and some of the entire series's most indelible moments, including the death of Peri Brown. The commentaries and extensive featurettes on the "Trial" DVD set are impressive, making it fun for Who fans and a must for those who appreciate Colin Baker's turn as the Doctor.

I thought the story line was so so. However, you are right in that this DVD set is essential for any whovian, in that there are a TON of extras on it! They really flesh out the whole story of Colin Baker. I bought it for The Trial, I loved it for all the extras.
