5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best DW adventures ever!!, 28 May 2001
By A Customer
This is definitely one of the best DW adventures. Tom Baker is absolutely wonderful as the Doctor and here, he gives one of his best performances. He and Elisabeth Sladen are so natural together and they make a wonderful team. There are some great supporting performances, most notably from Tony Beckley as Harrison Chase an insane megalomanic millionaire. John Challis is also really good as Chase's No1 heavy, Scorby. Great plot Get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baker's Finest, 3 Jun 2003
This story is the highlight of the Tom Baker era and one of the best Dr.Who stories of them all. The Antarctica scenes are well done and the story never sags across six episodes. The transformation scenes are almost painful to watch and the large Krynoid at the end is surprisingly effective.
Scorby (played by John Challis- Boycie from Only Fools and Horses) undergoes genuine character development over the course of the story so that we're almost saddened by his (somewhat gratuitous) demise.

Evoking memories of The Thing From Outer Space this was one of the last truly creepy Doctor Who stories - sublime.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of the best, 30 April 2001
By A Customer
It is generally perceived that Tom Bakers first two seasons as the Doctor were his best, and possibly the best ever. There are one of two stories which do stand above the rest. The brilliant Seeds of Doom being one of these.

I always felt that some of the earlier 6+ parters had too much padding causing boring repetiveness. Not so here. This story has the depth to be worthy of a six parter. Tom and Elizabeth really shine here and there are some terrific supporting performances too. Notably Harrisson Chase the meglomanic Millionaire who grows steadily madder by the second and thinks he is part of the plant world. Great Production, Great Costume Design and Direction. What more can you ask for in a Who story?. (Except Leighbridge-Stewart, Benton and co. as the UNIT team brought in). Nevertheless, TERRIFIC STUFF!

5.0 out of 5 stars "Interesting, a human being whose blood is slowly turning into vegetable soup..."
The above is just one of the memorable lines uttered by Tom Baker's Doctor in this, what is regarded by many as the start of the so-called 'golden era' of Doctor Who. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding
This outstanding classic six-part creepy chiller is a hybrid of 'The Avengers', John Carpenter's 'The Thing' and 'The X-files', and very effective it is too. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Why isn't it out on DVD yet?
One of the best Tom Baker stories. It's got atmosphere, and for John Carpenter fans, it has a director who know's his stuff, who know's how the series works. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Exciting adventure - not quite up to Troughton standards.
This is certainly a good example of Tom Baker's time as Doctor Who, although it is surprisingly more violent than your average Doctor Who story. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely worth a look.
This Doctor Who has not dated too badly. Tom Baker gives a tour de force performance as the Doctor. Read more
