The final serial in iDoctor Who/i's original run on the BBC (before it was revived in 2005), this three-episode story stars Sylvester McCoy as the Doctor, who brings his companion Ace (Sophie Aldred) back to Earth, only to discover that a race of feline aliens have turned the planet into their private hunting ground. The aliens, called Cheetah People, are traveling between their dying planet and Earth to kidnap humans for food--and lurking behind the whole scheme is none other than the Doctor's arch enemy, the Master (Anthony Ainsley in his final TV performance as the character). Despite the relative lack of quality of its video cinematography, iSurvival/i is a sold serial from the McCoy era, with some genuine suspense and an affectionate (if temporary) send-off for the venerable sci-fi hero.p The two-disc set of iSurvival/i is typical of the impressive presentations that the Doctor's adventures have received on DVD. Two commentary tracks have been recorded--one featuring McCoy, Aldred, and script editor Andrew Cartmel, and the other by the winners of a contest sponsored by iDoctor Who/i magazine (this appears only for episode 3). The hour-long, two-part iCat Flap/i (one of the original titles for the serial) covers the making of the serial from start to finish, and iEndgame/i is an intriguing look at how the program might've continued after iSurvival/i had it not been cancelled in 1989. iLittle Girl Lost/i is a 15-minute exploration of Ace's character from her debut story until ISurvival/I, and iDestiny of the Doctors/i features footage of Ainley as the Master taken from the 1997 computer game of the same name. The extras are rounded out by several deleted and extended scenes, a round of outtakes, the standard photo gallery, text-only commentary track, iRadio Times/i listings (in DVD-ROM format), and a 20-minute episode of a U.K. educational program called iSearch Out Science/i, which features McCoy and Aldred as their characters in a discussion of (what else?) time and space. i--Paul Gaita/i
