Hand of Fur ? ( it's Richard Keyes! )
By Matthew Turner from Scunthorpe , 14 Sep 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Hand of the Rani is not to be confused with the recently released 'Mark of Fear' !
This one features Colin Baker's (stroppy) Doc who finds himself knocking about with George Stephenson during the industrial Revolution - cue quaint Oop North-Rada accents and much carefully applied Oliver Twist style face paint which looked more like T' Black n' white minstrels than T'Miners.
At one point Kate O'Mara's Rani is totally taken in when the Doctor smears his face with shiny coal dust, failing to recognise him despite the striped yellow trousers.
There's some good exchanges between The Master and the Rani, though it can get a bit wordy at times and Shakespeare is quoted several times.
The Master : 'Unfortunate ? Fortuitous would be a more aposite epithet'.
The Rani : 'Eh?'
The gorgeous Peri gets groped by a 'rubber' tree and the story ends with a near miss of a cliffhanger for the Master and the Rani involving that old enemy - the inflatable dinosaur.
Not a Who classic by any means from Pip and Bob Baker but has high nostalgia values.- Was this review helpful to you?

(3)Doctor WTF?
By a customer from Ashford , 06 Jan 2010I remembered this as terrifying... Just goes to show that you should never look back.
Hardly a classic. Deeply disappointing.- Was this review helpful to you?

Better than I remembered...
By a customer from Birmingham, UK , 16 Sep 2006When I first saw this at the time it was broadcast, I thought it trite and simplistic. Watching it again on DVD, I was impressed that the storyline had greater depth than I remembered, although the Rani and the Master are still very much two dimensional villains, rather superficial and lacking an 'alien' evilness - more like East End gangsters than feared intergalactic criminals. You can't beat Roger Delgado's interpretation of the Master...- Was this review helpful to you?
