Description:

The Aztecs is the first Doctor Who DVD devoted to the long-running British science fiction television series' initial season (1963-64), so it should be a valuable addition to any fan's collection. It's also a very enjoyable historical drama that pits the Doctor against flesh-and-blood antagonists rather than aliens or robots. In the four-part serial, the Doctor (William Hartnell), his granddaughter Susan, and her teachers Barbara and Ian find themselves in Mexico during the height of the Aztec civilization. There, Barbara is mistaken for the reincarnation of a dead priestess, and she decides to use the ruse to put an end to the Aztecs' human sacrifices. However, she is challenged by the current high priest, which puts Susan and Ian in grave danger, and the Doctor must step in to save his friends and prevent Barbara from altering history. Longtime fans and novices alike will enjoy this rare opportunity to view an early Doctor Who adventure. ––Paul Gaita
