I first watched this episode at the beginning of my classic DVD collecting. Probably about the 5th one I'd ever watched and I loved it, so much so that it was my favourite episode for some considerable amount of time. Then I watched it again, having watched over half of the classic range and I found it was just as amazing as when I first saw it. It's not my favourite anymore, but it is up there. The plot is what I love most about it, it's just so unique. The idea of a TARDIS within a TARDIS within a TARDIS is so simple yet so complicated. Of course this is Tom Bakers swansong so you'd expect him to go out with a bang and it certainly does this. The fall from the transmitter was excellently done, some shots were a cringe-worthy obvious dummy but everything else was perfect. I especially like the music as all the companions run to him as well as the directing in this particular scene. I thought his regeneration was very fitting and I loved seeing all the 4th doctors previous companions. The regeneration itself was also perfect, definitely one of my favourites and the concept of The Watcher I found quite creepy, especially seeing The Watcher just standing there staring. But it was an excellent regeneration to ring in Peter Davison. Finally I really enjoyed all the scenes on Logopolis and The Master and I though the model shots of Logopolis were really well made. Overall a brilliant ending to a brilliant doctor.

I like it how the 4th doctor accepted that he was going to die, unlike the 10th doctor who didn't want to change. He knew his time was ending and he accepted it, almost making it sadder when he died.
