Doctor Who - The Robots of Death Reviews

---

Doctor Who meets Isaac Asimov meets Frank Herbert meets Agatha Christie
The Robots of Death is one of the best stories of Doctor Who's fourteenth season (Tom Baker's third as the Doctor), right behind The Talons of Weng-Chiang and The Deadly Assassin. Robots is a story that combines classic Doctor Who elements with elements of Isaac Asimov's Robot series, Frank Herbert's Dune saga and even an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery. The Fourth Doctor and Leela (Louise Jameson) find themselves on a sandminer vessel whose crew is being killed off one by one. The Doctor suspects that the robots aboard the vessel, but the crew dismisses the Time Lord's theory on the basis that the robots are programmed to serve humans, not harm them. Baker gives a fine performance as the Doctor. Other great perfomrances include Pamela Salem as Toos, David Baille as Dask/Taren Capel, David Collings as Poul and Gregory de Polnat as D.84. This story is well-written by Chris Boucher. The Robots of Death stands out as one of my favorite Fourth Doctor stories--one I always enjoy watching when I see it.

I've finally watched my first Doctor Who show...
I have avoided this program like the plague most of my life, and now I found that I've been mistaken.
I remember seeing bit of this show on PBS and it just looked so cheesy that I could not bring myselt to watch it.
On a whim, I took Doctor Who-The Robots of Death out of the local library and I really enjoyed it. The story was good. The acting not bad. The script had some silly lines, but all in all it was a good viewing experience.
I don't expect to turn into a Doctor Who fanatic this late in life, but I can certainly see myself checking other episodes out of the library.
