The Chase is literally a chase across 6 episodes, and it's great fun. The variety of locations and characters visited is great and refreshing, keeping the adventure evolving in different directions. The Daleks unfortunately come off a bit weak here, but the journey is well worth watching.

I love those dumb things so much. Frankenstein's monster body slamming a Dalek whilst Dracula watched was definitely not on my doctor who bingo card. Ian and Barbra easily get the best send off of any departing companions benefiting their status as founding members of team TARDIS. overall a fun little chase through time and space. kawaii2234 View profile Like Liked 0 19 March 2025 · 29 words Review by Scottybguud Spoilers This review contains spoilers! My favourite story from season 2. Fun, action packed and moves along quite swiftly. Seeing the Doctor get angry and upset at Ian and Barbara's exit makes a touching farewell. Scottybguud View profile Like Liked 0 4 February 2025 · 133 words Review by lizshaw i loveee serials set across time theyre soo fun!! some great little comedy vingettes really, with the reveal of the mary celeste and the monster house just being an ordinary house of horrors where the doc and ian tried to come up with a super scifi explanation. all the empire state building stuff was fun. and the daleks are always nice to see! and it was such a sweet and lovely ending to barbara and ians story, with them getting a little epilogue and then you find out the doctor was watching them! i like to imagine he often does from time to time. i love ones era for having epilogues and tardis opening and endings so much more often!! and with multiple parts the serial is way more fast paced and engaging lizshaw View profile Like Liked 0 Show All Reviews (19) Open in new window Statistics AVG.
