I  HATE JEREMY

The paradise of Death is a good story with the Third Doctor, told over five, 30 minute parts. The plot, in the beginning, feels like an era appropriate story, then from part 3 it becomes larger and grander. While I think the middle is a little long, it does serve the story well and come back around. The themes explored are enjoyable, and wouldn't be out of place in any era of the show. It was great to hear Jon Pertwee as the Third Doctor, even if you can tell that 20 years had passed. Elisabeth Sladen and Nicolas Courtney also give great performances as Sarah Jane Smith and The Brigadier, respectively. All the classic performers slip back into their roles, and give performances that take you back into the Third Doctor era. Overall, I think this is a good story, that is a little let down by its length.
