Watchable Enough. (2008-09-12)  This story has a terrible reputation, but it is actually watchable enough. Colin Baker goes all-out to show that his Doctor is going to be very different indeed from what has gone before and it is very brave to show an violently unstable doctor. This bravery could be said to have backfired, as in conjunction with THAT costume, Colin had two strikes against him in many viewers minds before he had even started a full season of his own. It's not a classic, but if you lower your expectations, you may enjoy it and - love it or loathe it - this is the very first story of one of the Doctors, which will always make it interesting in it's own way. whatever the quality.
Spellbinding, compelling, must-see TV! (2004-05-29)  As shocking and horrifying as it may be to see the new Doctor try to strangle the pretty Peri in a moment of unbridled paranoia, or dress up in the galactic equivalent of the technicolor dream coat (It's red and yellow, mainly!)or spout all manner of crazy lines and poetry etc, as he swings from abusive to cowardly, to self-importantly brave and heroic, there is no doubt that Twin Dilemma is one of the most totally compelling episodes of Dr.Who ever. You just can't help keep watching it is so darn outrageous and wild! Colin Baker delivers a startling if not totally convincing performance and holds the screen every second he is on it. The villain looks bad (he's a big rubbery slug!) and the sets are pure panto, but the Doctor's old friend Azmael is great, a truly sympathetic and classy guest character, and the whacko antihero Doctor helps him make this a story worth watching for sheer character and dialog alone. Forget the FX, the monsters and the clever plots. Its just Colin Baker, Nicola Bryant, Maurice Denham and Hugo Lang (whoever the actor is slips my mind!) and they make you want to watch for them and their colorful exchanges and interactions. Grotesque at times, hilarious and scary and moving at others, Twin Dilemma like other underrated Who stories (Timelash, Timeflight, Warriors of the Deep) is totally engrossing entertainment and much more watchable than the bad rep suggests. You have to see it, if nothing else!
