Space Crabs!
Not every story of a series is good. Star Trek TOS had 'Spock's Brain,' and others. Doctor Who had 'The Macra Terror,' and others. Still, I like it and I want to see it. One of the Lost, reborn. Good or Bad, they're part of the whole, and I dare say the animated Macra look better than the filmed ones.

A solid farewell to the Original Doctor
First off, the description is wrong, this is only a 2 disc set. There has never been a 3 disk version available. Outside of that, this is a great story. The Doctor (William Hartnell) and his companiions Ben and Polly arrive in Antarctica in 1986 just in time for the Cybermen to arrive on Earth.
The special features, like all Doctor Who DVDs are extraordinary, including production notes, commentaries and much, much more.
Sadly, most of the final episode does not exist in the BBC archives, so it is represented here as an animated form, alongside the version released for video cassette many years ago.
I highly recommend this to any fan of Doctor Who, or for someone just getting into the 1960's era of the show.
It's a great story, and also Hartnel's last. Unfortunately, the animation on the missing episode is really cruddy, which kind of messes up the enjoyment. It's the same people they used in The Moonbase, but for some reason it doesn't work as well here.
