9. The Brain of Morbius (Story 084, 1976)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY7idi78amE Its always a fun time when the Doctor meets another Time Lord who isnt the Master. Well, unless its Time and the Rani, and then its just horrible. But in this case its pretty great when the Doctor and Sarah Jane (Elisabeth Sladen) encounter the evil renegade Time Lord known as Morbius. Why not THE Morbius? Now that just wouldnt make sense, would it? The story is full of little bits of Time Lord lore, which are always fun. It also includes a very controversial element in the form of pictures of previous versions of the Doctor, several of which would have existed before the First Doctor. Thereve been many attempts over the years to explain this away, but my advice is just to accept it for what it is. Despite the presence of a truly laughable costume, this story is quite solid. It mixes elements of Frankenstein, especially the 1930s movie, in with Who lore and original elements and does so in a very entertaining manner. Plus Morbius is another fairly fun villain, so much so that he was brought back in
The Vengeance of Morbius, a Big Finish audio where he fought the 8th Doctor. Given that you cant see the costume, he works a bit better there than here, but even here, hes still a great character in a great story!
