This is the complete new series in the Companion Chronicles of Second Doctor adventures.

I admit that I have not been a big fan of the First and Second Doctor adventures. I think that someone could stand in for Patrick Troughton. He’s been dead a long time. Also, the Third Doctor boxset with someone else playing the Doctor was much better than any of the First and Second Doctor adventures out there.

I give this 5 out of 10 stars. I wish they would just explore newer ideas in these old stories. Why not have the Second Doctor meet up with some “New Who” monsters? Why do these rely on narrative story telling when they could be better with someone as the Doctor?

Pat Troughton did not have that distinctive a voice like Tom Baker does(going strong at age 82!). If they want to tell new stories of the Second Doctor, then we desperately need more than surviving companions sounding bored reading their scripts. That the actor is long dead and can be replaced is a sign of respect and better stories.

The Third Doctor boxset is a much better example of telling Early Doctor stories. Time to find a good Pat Troughton voice actor and inject some energy in this series! Uneven, boring, and simply not interesting!
