Yes, another one. Sorry, folks; it's catch-up week.
The Four Doctors wears its main attraction on its sleeve, of course. It's also a Dalek story, and a time-faffery story (as usual. I mean, how else do you get four Doctors into the same room?). And unlike the previous Christmas specials, they're saying it will never be released as a standalone; the only way to get it is to purchase a subscription to the main Doctor Who line that includes the December 2010 release (#142, The Demons of Red Lodge and Other Stories).
Whether that's worth it or not really depends on what you're hoping to get out of it, I think.
(SPOILERS. Link goes to my journal.)
The only thing that The Four Doctors fails to deliver is fanservice. Given the choice between a fanservice story and a well-told, moving one, I'll take what we have every time.
But... maybe next time we can have a bit more fanservice?
