... Peladon is holding a conference as it wants to be admitted into the Galactic Federation, but one of the ambassadors is determinted to undermine proceeding.
An excellent story with some pretty imaginative monsters and a good political drama playing out alongside the tale of aliens. Jon Pertwee is on fine form as always being partly quite flippant and also managing to be deadly serious when he needs to be. The story is very imaginative and it's great to see so many aliens. The ice warriors once villanous now act as an...more

With this story just having been released on DVD now, I thought it may be a good time to just give the video a quick review in terms of the programme without any extras. Dating back to the 1970's this story features the 3rd Doctor, played by Jon Pertwee. The plot revolves around the Doctor, on trying to escape from Earth ending up on a planet known as Peladon. Here the Doctor infiltrates the Royal Palace and ends up being mistaken as Earth's ambassador along with his companion Jo Grant. Peladon is holding a conference as it wants to be admitted into the Galactic Federation, but one of the ambassadors is determinted to undermine proceeding. An ... Read the complete review

THE CURSE OF PELADON is the 11th 'Doctor Who' story starring Jon Pertwee, who was the third actor to play The Doctor, between 1970 and 1974. It was first broadcast in January / February 1972. The story, which takes place over 4 episodes, also stars Katy Manning as The Doctor's companion, Jo Grant. The plot in this story has The Doctor and Jo getting involved in the investigation of a murder at a conference of the Galactic Federation. It is The Doctor's old enemies, the Ice Warriors! The story itself is an interesting one, and I personally have always liked the Ice Warriors. I am hoping that Russell T Davies decides to use them soon in his new version of ...

Brian Hayles wrote several notable Doctor Who serials before his death in 1978, most famously introducing the Ice Warriors in the Patrick Troughton era. These reptilian Martians return in Hayles' 1972 story 'The Curse of Peladon,' in which they teach Jon Pertwee's Doctor a little humility as he learns not to act solely on his instincts, or to judge by appearances alone. This is a good thing, as one look at the ludicrously phallic, one-eyed hermaphrodite hexapod delegate from Alpha Centauri would surely have the scarecrow man rolling in hysterics. This gathering of assorted odd-looking and unanimously green aliens is explained as a conference to judge the ... Read the complete review
