About 350 years ago, the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) launched into space a statue made out of a deadly living metal called Nemesis. Now the statue has returned, threatening the universe in general -- and earth in particular -- with total destruction. Watch for a cameo appearance by British jazz great Courtney Pine. Written by Kevin Clarke, the first episode of the three-part story "Silver Nemesis" was originally shown on November 23, 1988. Appropriately enough, it was also the "silver" 25th anniversary of the very first
Doctor Who telecast. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
