“The Mind of Evil can be summed up with just two words: often
overlooked…The Mind of Evil is
clearly one of the classic series’ best-directed pieces…As a story, The Mind of Evil is a real watershed for
Jon Pertwee’s Doctor, who discernibly starts to let go of the Earthbound angst
that characterized his first season….It’s not hard to see why Katy Manning
cites this story as being her favorite Doctor
Who adventure; it’s definitely one of her character’s best. Edgy, stylish,
topical, and remarkably prescient, The
Mind of Evil is one of my firm favorites, too.”
