| Touching, very touching. I loved it. 5 out of 5! The CiN special is something I'm starting to really look forward to as much as the Christmas special or any episode of the season. |

Absolutely brilliant. Loved every minute of it (a little under 8 minutes, I believe). I do hope this meeting will become so popular that it will urge the producers to push for a full 40+ minute episode with Peter and David.
But you want to know what I really loved about this mini-episode? Despite the jokes, it wasn't the usual bickering and whatnot we've seen in past multi-doctor stories. By the final minute of the story, the doctors did truly seem to like each other. I've been waiting for that to happen all my "Doctor Who lovin'" life.

And Peter Davison finally fills Colin Baker's pants!
(The trousers he wears in this episode are the ones altered for Colin Baker for Caves of Androzani/The Twin Dilemma)
This was a lot of fun. Any longer, and it would have bogged down. Moffat penned a fun celebration linking the past to the present and future.

| Really enjoyed it. Nicely produced. It really seemed like it belonged between S3 and S4 - alomost like it could be canon(!) |

Good Stuff.
I feel that they could use Peter Divison and/or Sylvester McCoy and/or Paul McGann quite successfully in the so-called "Doctor-lite" episode for one season, hence it would no longer be Doctor-lite. |

Paul would love to come back and assume the Timelord mantle once again. But only not wearing the wig!
His curly mane was a hairpiece.

Does your other heart tell you that Dimensions in TIme is canon?  |

My other heart turns black when forced to think about Dimensions in Time. The only person to come off well in that disaster was Pertwee. Even when having to deliver silly dialogue, Jon tackled the role with the same warmth and respect we had come to expect over the years. He truly loved playing the Doctor and it still showed. |

Dimensions In Time isn't even in the same universe as Time Crash!
Time Crash > Dimensions In Time

That was genius. The chemistry between the Doctors was spot on. Peter Davison was MY Doctor too and seeing his name in the opening titles bought a lump to the throat.
Btw, you may have seen on OG that CiN got viewing figures of 9.4 million, peaking for the Two Doctors segment at 10.9 million! It may turn out to be the most watched piece of tv of the year!
Now, if that isn't an incentive to RTD for a proper multi-Doctor story next season, I don't know what is! |

And it explained how the ship could crash into the Tardis.
Loved it.
