Dr Who Review, Part 6 - The Peter Davison Era

The sixth episode in my ongoing series of reviews, with analysis, of the BBC science-fiction show, Doctor Who.

In this part, the era of the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison, is considered. We explore how the television landscape changed as the show entered the eighties and how changes to the format ensured a renewed interest. Two stand-out stories are looked at in detail and we take a look at how the show celebrated its twentieth anniversary before preparing itself for an even more radical change.
