The Third Doctor's trip off Earth since his exile and it's a disappointment (guess what - it's another bloody quarry!). I realise Malcolm Hulke was trying to address some serious issues, but it's best described as worthy but bland.

Doctor Who Symphonic Spectacular
BEST! CONCERT! EVER!
On Saturday night I (along with thousands of other fans) had the great delight of being in Melbourne for the Doctor Who Symphony Spectacular; the first time such a concert had been performed out of the U.K. and the first time music from series 6 had been performed live. Now, I would have gone just for the music, which is brilliant anyway and was performed superbly by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra under the assured direction of Ben Foster (along with the Concordis Chamber Choir and soloists Antoinette Halloran and Tobias Cole), but also Cybermen, Silurians, Judoon, Ood, Silence and DALEKS roaming the hall. Honestly, my girlfriend reckons she's never seen me happier!
The best bits? The Madman with a Box, I am The Doctor, Abigal's Song, The Majestic Tale of a Madman in a Box,This is Gallifrey/Vale Decem, Song of Freedom and (naturally) the Doctor Who Theme which closed the show (with every title sequence since 1963 on the big screen)
There was a camera crew there so I'm hoping it was filmed for later broadcast or DVD realise but there's (not surprisingly) amateur footage of YouTube. And here's a couple of photo's I took on the night.
