The film covers 80 years in the sibling's lives, touching upon their hopes, disappointments, romances and political entanglements. Rather than going the traditional split-screen route, two genuine twins are cast in the leads: Mike and Robert Gwilym. The stellar supporting cast includes Gemma Jones and Catherine Schell. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

In the final episode of the three-part story "Dragonfire," the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) finally comes face to face with exiled criminal Kane (Edward Peel), the ruler of the frozen trading colony Iceworld. Threatening dire consequences for innocent waitress Ace (Sophie Aldred), the villain forces the Doctor and con man Glitz (Tony Selby) to locate the Dragon's Treasure, which will enable Kane to escape Iceworld forever. Chris Clough's teleplay is chock full of "inside" pop-cultural references, including the character names McLuhan (as in Marshall) and Bazin (as in French film critic Andre Bazin). Bonnie Langford makes her final appearance as Mel. "Iceworld, Episode 3" originally aired on December 7, 1987, bringing Doctor Who's 24th season to a rousing conclusion. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
