Description:
A quick escape from the path of molten lava sends the Tardis to 'nowhere' where anything that springs to mind may become reality.
Amazon.com:
The 1968 Doctor Who serial The Mind Robber is a two-fold blessing, because it's not only one of the more engaging story arcs from the program's second season, but also because it's one of the few shows featuring Patrick Troughton as the Doctor that has remained intact since its original BBC broadcast. The five-part story strands the Doctor and companions Jamie (Frazier Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury) in a strange world populated by characters from fiction, including Rapunzel, Blackbeard the Pirate, and Lemuel Gulliver. Controlling this riot of literary personages is a being called The Master (though not the evil Time Lord from subsequent Who seasons), with whom the Doctor must match wits in order to rescue his friends and save the Earth from a sinister plan. A longtime fan favorite brimming with imagination, visual style (despite its limited budget), and an energetic performance by Troughton, The Mind Robber is a welcome inclusion to the growing collection of Doctor Who on DVD. --Paul Gaita

Rating:  - Very Clever
This is a very well written episode. One of Patrick Troughton's best and the story is a true classic. What I found interesting is how they managed to take Frazer Hines' unfortunate illness(He had become ill with chickenpox right before filming episode 2.)and made it look like they intentionally changed Jamie from one face to the other then back again. In the commentary, Frazer Hines does tell how when Zoe slapped Jamie, she clipped his ear and his ear rang for a few minutes and also tells that ... Read More
Rating: - When stories come alive...
This story is one of the few non-Dalek,non-Cybermen,non-Master,non-invasion ones that I like. I like the Second Doctor and wish more of his stories survived the BBC. This one has Gulliver, Sir Lancelot, and a plot that takes the TADRIS out of space and time completely. Tons of extras, commentary by Frazer Hines and Wendy Padbury and behind the scenes features. Even a short from Basil Brush with a Yeti.
And, of course, a great shot of Zoe's butt. What? You all know you like her figure. ... Read More

Rating: - Top-Notch Troughton And Company
Growing up, I viewed very few of Patrick Troughton's adventures as the Doctor. For this reason, he was always an afterthought in my little "Who" world. After watching a number of his tales, however, he's quickly become one of my favorite incarnations of the good Doctor. I love his rapport with his companions and anybody else who happens to stumble on to the wobbly sets of "Doctor Who." In this particular adventure, he really shines, making me rank "The Mind Robber" as one of the best "Who" serials ... Read More
Rating: - Watch it with the lights turned out!
Well, with the first episode at least. Even though Peter Ling (the author) didn't write this episode, as it was a last minute addition, it has to be the best of the five. A subtly creepy opening as The Doctor is forced to take the TARDIS out of time, space and reality, in order to escape being smothered by a volcano (from the previous adventure), and a mysterious voice inside their heads beckoning them to come out... but where do you go when there's... nothing?
The next four episodes are no ... Read More
