Doctor Who: The Ambassadors of Death - A Third Doctor Story
with Environmental Message

Based on the information from the website
[invalid URL doctor who the ambassadors of death ON Chakoteya.net],
here's a review of Doctor Who: The Ambassadors of Death:

Story

The Doctor (Third Doctor) and companion Jo Grant
find themselves on Mars, where a human colony
is locked in conflict with the ambassadors
of a supposedly peaceful alien race known as the Ambassadors.
The Doctor uncovers a sinister plot that threatens
both Martians and Earth. The story explores themes
of environmental pollution and warfare.

Review (Based on Summary):

Environmental Message: "The Ambassadors of Death" highlights
the dangers of environmental pollution and warfare through
the conflict on Mars.

Unique Setting: The story takes place on Mars, offering
a different backdrop for a Doctor Who adventure.

Limited Character Development (Based on Summary): The summary
doesn't give much detail about the development of the Doctor
or Jo Grant in this serial.

Possible Weaknesses (Considering Limited Information):

Classic Who's Production Values: Special effects in classic
Doctor Who were limited by the era's technology. The depiction
of Mars and the alien ambassadors might not be as realistic
by modern standards.

Slow Pacing: Classic Doctor Who sometimes featured a slower
narrative pace compared to modern iterations.

Overall Thoughts (Limited Scope):

"The Ambassadors of Death" presents a unique setting
on Mars and a story with an environmental message.
However, the potential for dated production values,
slower pacing, and limited character development
are considerations.

Would I Recommend Watching It?

For Fans of Classic Doctor Who: 6/10
(Recommended for completists or fans of the Third Doctor era
interested in environmental stories. Be prepared for the limitations
of classic Who)

For Fans of Modern Doctor Who: 4/10 (The environmental message might
hold some interest, but the potential for dated effects, slower pace,
and less character focus could be disadvantages)

Here are some additional points to consider that might help you decide:

If possible, try to find reviews that discuss the visual representation
of Mars and the alien ambassadors. This can help you gauge how appealing
it might be for you.
Classic Doctor Who had a different style than the modern series.
If you're new to classic Who, consider watching earlier Third Doctor
stories like "Spearhead from Space" and "Doctor Who and the Silurians"
to get a feel for the era's aesthetics and storytelling before diving
into "The Ambassadors of Death".

I hope this helps! While "The Ambassadors of Death" has interesting
concepts, the production limitations of classic Doctor Who might
be a factor to consider, especially for viewers more accustomed
to the modern series.

Not hugely no … I asked it to “Write a Review of Doctor Who the Ambassadors
of Death from the transcript at http://www.chakoteya.net/DoctorWho/7-3.htm”
and it gave me

“Sure, here is a review of Doctor Who: The Ambassadors of Death based on
the transcript:

"The Ambassadors of Death" is a gripping episode of Doctor Who that keeps
viewers on the edge of their seats. The story follows the Doctor, Liz Shaw,
and the Brigadier as they investigate the disappearance of two astronauts
on Mars. The tension is palpable as the team races against time to rescue
the astronauts, who are being held captive by a race of hostile aliens.

One of the highlights of the episode is the Doctor's intelligence and
resourcefulness. He is able to decipher the aliens' communication and
devise a plan to save the astronauts. The episode also features some
impressive special effects, which were groundbreaking for television at the
time.

Overall, "The Ambassadors of Death" is a classic Doctor Who episode that is
sure to please fans of the show. It is a suspenseful and exciting story
with strong characters and impressive special effects.”

I’ve watched Ambassadors of Death several times. Even given a complete
transcript the AI misses almost all the salient points.

And it says nothing about it being about two episodes too long or Reegan’s
endless running about on gantries.

No surprise.

Key word : Transcripts.

I wonder where it got Jo Grant from on mine.
