Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A MUST HAVE!
Review: This story was written by Douglas Adams who also wrote the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and all of it's sequels. It is very humorous as well as intriguing. This is the second story to the six part Key To Time series, but it stands by itself perfectly. K-9 even gets into a fight with a robotic parrot. Oh, and the wound on Tom Baker's lip was inflicted by a dog previous to filming. I only mention that because when i first saw the video i thought it was a cold sore. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great episode
Review: This was the first episode of Doctor Who that I ever saw, perhaps 15 years ago or so. It was amazing enough to hook myself and my family for the next 10 years, until the local PBS station couldn't show it anymore.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A glorius romp through space.
Review: Tom Baker as Dr. Who is at the top of his form in this superbly written piece of Sci/FI adventure. With K9 and Romana, the Dr. is once again up to his scarf with intergalatic fiends and criminals and he manages to bumble his way through to a succesful conclusion. If you are a Dr. Who fan you will love this second installment of the Key to time mini-series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MR. FIBULI!!!!!!
Review: You hear, "Mr. Fibuli!!!!" alot in this excellent Dr. Who adventure. Out of my vast collection of Dr. Who tapes that I own, this adventure has to be the most watched. This entire story is so well done and it is such a unique tale that you will want to watch it again and again. The story starts with the Doctor in search of the 2nd key to time, which takes him to the planet Calufrax. Calufrax is actually a planet this is just about to be consumed by the very evil Pirate Planet. The captain of the pirate planet and the evil queen Zansea move about the cosmos eating other planets for their minerals. (Our Earth eventually becomes one of their targets... YIKES!!!) Of course, this is completely unexceptable to the good Doctor and the ever lovely Romana. After landing on the Pirate Planet they quickly become involved in aiding the mentiads in overthrowing the evil captin and queen. This story has a lot of adventure and excitement. The story is very engrossing and the special effects are actually not to bad this time around. The acting is well done and you will fall in love with the captain, queen and the comical Mr. Fibuli as they race toward their inevitable destruction. I won't tell you how this ends but I will tell you that it is an amazing surprise! Definately get this episode for your collection and you, like me, will find yourself walking around your house yelling ... MR FIBULI!!!!!! MR. FIBULI!!!!! hehe.
