Summary: A brill class flaming cool story, one of the best ever...
Comment: Bob Holmes always was a great Doctor Who writer, in my opinion still better than Russel T Davies, and he always had memorable characters in every single one of his scripts.
Well, who would have thought that a story about tax could be so flaming cool! But as i said, you can be assured that with Rob Holmes, you will always get a brilliant story with funny dialogue but also some great horror touches. And isnt Henry Woolf flipping brilliant as the Collector? One of the best villians ever on Doctor Who! And Louise Jameson is as strong as ever, and has a lot to do for once! A flaming cool Doctor Who story!!!!

Summary: Doctor Who at its multi-layered best!
Comment: Writer Robert Holmes came up with one of his wittiest Doctor Who stories here, a much neglected gem littered with references to the tax system and assorted financial shenanigans - "P45 return route" indeed!. The whole story is perfectly played by the cast and helped by some very effective location work. This is a classic example of how Doctor Who could work at several different levels at once. High budget it is not, but who cares?

Summary: A Flawed Classic
Comment: Robert Holmes is a name associated with all the greatest and most loved Doctor Who stories, however even on his worst day he can still produce stories better than most others. The Sun Makers is a richly ploted story with wry satire about taxation and dictatorial state control. However there are a lot of stock cliches too, including the longest corridor chase sequence in the show's history. The Doctor's assistant Leela gets captured and menaced and almost steamed to death before being rescued. The ending although original is a bit disappointing but the Doctor's critisism of Leela's violent activities makes the ending believeble and laudable. If this isn't enough Michael Keating makes a pre-Blake's 7 appearance :)All in all this story's strengths out weigh their weaknesses to make an enjoyable 100 minutes of British sci-fi.
