5.0 out of 5 stars Good one for all to see, 5 Sep 2000
By A Customer
Peter Davison is definitely my favorite doctor. He was great in the Kinda. Although he did stumble on his own feet a couple times, which I am not sure if he meant to do that or not, but it made me smile. Nyssa (Sarah Sutton) was not in it much, but Tegan and Adric are in it alot.It's hard for me to explain what the video is about. Take my word for it, the Kinda is a great video to have, and I was lucky to find it here in the states. If you don't have it yet, go get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probaby Richard Gere's favourite Doctor Who story, 29 Mar 2005
By D. Evans "dantheman95" (Southport) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Written by Buddhist Christopher Bailey, Kinda is one of the most interesting stories of the fifth Doctor era. It is steeped in ideas concerning culture, how different races react to each other, and how people become frightened of ideals they can not understand. Clearly as well the story is also influenced by historical events, the arrival of explorers in the third worlds.
In this case an Earth expedition force is sent to a tropical Planet to report on whether the Planet is fit to colonise. However the crew gradually become unhinged by the influence of the Planets natives, and the evil snake The Mara which also affects the mind of regular companion Tegan.
At this stage in the programmes history, the series had three regular companions travelling with The Doctor. This presented the obvious problem of finding storylines for all the regulars, and usually resulted in one or two of them being sidelined. In this story Nyssa is written out for the duration of the adventure, this benefits Tegan who is given a central role in the adventure.
Several well known faces are in the adventure. British actor Richard Todd plays the leader of the expedition force, and fans of The Bill will recognise a young Reg Hollis and Jack Meadows.
Very different to the fast paced, more straight forward stories, The Visitation and Earthshock, the originality of Kinda helps give season 19 a diversity. It's success also led to a sequel Snakedance the following season.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Snake in Paradise, 8 Oct 2000
Whenever I first heard that Peter Davison was to be the fifth Doctor I graoned at the very idea. This was the first story that convinced me that perhaps the right choice had been made after all. It gave him the chance to play a Doctor in stark contrast to his predecessors and delivered one of my favourite lines ("an apple a day...").

The basic story is of a paradise-like world, Deva Loka, which is being considered for colonisation. The natives are generally regarded as non-hostile the only problem is that half the Earth-expedition have disappeared, possibly having succumbed to the paradise syndrome (ie quietly walked off to be one with nature).

The Doctor and his companions arrive and soon discover that there is something else lurking on Deva Loka. One companion, Tegan, falls asleep near the wind chimes and it is not long before she is confronting the dark places inside her mind and the evil that lurks there. Evil which is waiting for the chance to emerge into out world. Very soon Deva Loka is under threat from a snake in paradise, and with one member of the Earth expedition becoming increasingly neurotic the end may be in sight sooner than anyone thought.

A thought provoking story which overcomes budgetary restrictions. Generally well-written (although altered from the original premise from a Buddhist theme to a Christian one), and well-acted (fans of The Bill may be surprised to see Reg Hollis in a completely different light) - this was a fine start to the fifth Doctor's era and a good place to start watching it.
