Description:

The Stones of Blood is the third part in the "Key to Time" story arc that comprised the 16th season of the BBC's long-running Doctor Who series, but it also marks the program's 15th anniversary and the Time Lord's 100th adventure. And as befitting such an occasion, the four-part serial is solid science fiction entertainment with a heavy dose of mystery and supernatural suspense. The Doctor (Tom Baker) and his Time Lady assistant Romana (Mary Tamm) arrive in modern-day Cornwall in pursuit of the third piece to the Key to Time, and encounter a druid cult conducting blood sacrifices to a Celtic goddess at an ancient stone circle known as the Nine Travellers. The circle and the goddess are not what they seem, and the Doctor must travel into hyperspace to rescue Romana from an insidious alien force. Baker and Tamm's charismatic performances and atmospheric direction (which makes fine use of the Oxfordshire locations) by Darrol Blake (helming his first Who episode) help to make this serial a satisfying one for fans of the series and the Baker episodes in particular. --Paul Gaita
