4.0 out of 5 stars St George of Gallifrey, 5 May 2009

By	Binro The Heretic "mattieboyz" (Hillsborough, Sheffield) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

The worst thing about this serial is the cliffhanger where The Doctor is hanging by his umbrella from the top of a sheer cliff face. He jumped for no good reason for crying out loud! That said, this is a pretty decent story, it introduces Ace and sees the return of Tony Selby's galactic geezer Sabalom Glitz. The eponymous 'Dragon' represents the BBC not-so-special effects at their worst, but the scene where Kane's head melts (a la Raiders of the Lost Ark) is surely one of the series' best realised deaths. Like many other serials of the late-80s, this is pretty brainless but damn good fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glitz, 27 Jun 2000

By A Customer

I think that Glitz would make a really good person for the Doctor to meet up with in the possibl future stories(please make them BBC!) I was glad that Mel left in this story because all she ever did was scream at the monsters were as Ace through Nitro 9 at them. I really like Sylvester McCoy as the doctor although my favourite is Peter Davidson. A good story!

2.0 out of 5 stars Going downhill., 15 Dec 2000

By A Customer

Sylvester McCoy's portrayal of the Doctor was better than Colin Baker's but the stories were generally poorer. 'Dragonfire' is an example. It is not one of the best stories from the McCoy era but it isn't the worst either. Bonnie Langford leaves, Sophie Aldred replaces her, Tony Selby makes his last appearance in the series. You should also look out for Edward Peel as Kane (better known for Juliet Bravo and Emmerdale) and a brief appearance at the beginning by one of the former stars of London's Burning. A story for Doctor Who completists but not an example of the series at its best.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overlit tale, but Still Enjoyable.
This is a promising tale from the end of Mccoy's first season and sees the introduction of the Ace character. Kane is a wonderful villain. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better McCoy stories.
To be honest I am not an avid fan of the Sylvester McCoy era but this story, Remembrance and Survival are the only exceptions. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A real chilling tale.
This is a first-rate tale. There is genuine atmosphere and emotion, helped by a brilliantly dark soundtrack (sadly never released on CD). Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Peel back the layers
Season 24 is regarded by many as the worst series of the original Doctor Who run. In 1987, Dragonfire won the best story in Doctor Who magazines annual poll. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Dragonfire
My favourite story from McCoy's opening season by a long shot, 'Dragonfire' never pretends to be something it's not and goes about telling a decent story in a decent way. Read more
