		Logopolis meanders all over the place and is populated by unconvincing ciphers who fail to light up the screen; it has some big ideas but never explores them properly or engagingly through the characters.
		This only serves to heighten my negative attitude towards ‘Logopolis’, although at least by the latter half of the story Tegan’s potential as a companion starts to be realized as she demonstrates strength of character by challenging the Monitor and standing up to the Master, and proving brave and resourceful when necessary.
		‘Logopolis’ also benefits from a fine performance from John Fraser as the Monitor, who is likeable enough to make the character’s friendship with and concern for the Doctor entirely believable, and who is also capable of looking convincingly worried and angst-ridden when the story calls for it.

	Logopolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Logopolis is a serial in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who, which was first broadcast in four weekly parts from February 28 to March 21, 1981.
		The Fourth Doctor goes to Logopolis to repair the TARDIS's chameleon circuit, but his old enemy the Master has plans of his own for the planet of mathematicians, a plan that could spell doom for the universe.
		The Monitor warns the Master that bringing Logopolis to a halt will cause universal disaster, but the Master replies that it is only a temporary effect, which he attempts to demonstrate by deactivating the suppression device.

	Logopolis
		He sets the co-ordinates for Logopolis, telling Adric that they will have to part company; a chain of circumstances is about to fragment the very law which holds the Universe together...
		She accompanies him and Adric outside into the city of Logopolis, where endless rows of elderly grey-haired mathematicians sit in cubicles chanting the numbers of their calculations.
		The leader of Logopolis, the Monitor, leads the Doctor, Adric and Tegan to the Central Registry, which the Doctor finds to be a very familiar-looking computer room with a radio telescope antenna mounted outside.

		Logopolis is, of course, a milestone in the history of the series, the transition point between one era and another.
		Logopolis is a disgusting pinky-grey colour, and the model of it was based on an idea that worked better in theory than execution.
		Logopolis does aspire towards greatness but is unfortunately let down heavily by poor character interaction (unfortunately it takes one of the worst set of companions in the show and focuses HEAVILY on them.

	Doctor Who Unbound: "He Jests at Scars..."
		Thus, he requires the help of the mathemeticians of Logopolis, but unfortunately that planet was destroyed when the Fourth Doctor inadvertently took the Master there.
		The energy wave vapourises Logopolis, kick-starting the end of the Universe, but that’s small potatoes to the Valeyard, who is far more concerned with the fact that he’s just killed his past self -- thus making his own existence a temporal paradox...
		Vansell compares the Valeyard to the inchoate form of the Watcher from Logopolis, but claims that it’s unprecedented for such a being to achieve independent sentience, implying either that the Time Lords are unaware of the existence of Cho-Je from Planet of the Spiders or that he was something else entirely.

	A Brief History Of Time (Travel): Logopolis
		Logopolis, the middle installment -- featuring the Doctor's regeneration -- would be a tale of epic proportions, and Bidmead began presaging it in earlier serials, with the introduction of the concept of the Charged Vacuum Emboitment (CVE) in Full Circle.
		Logopolis was actually the end of several individuals' regular involvement with Doctor Who.
		Logopolis part four aired on March 21st, bringing Season Eighteen and the record-setting Tom Baker era to its conclusion.

		The Doctor goes to Logopolis, a planet of mathematicians, but the Master in his TARDIS has hitched a ride in the Doctor's TARDIS and now starts killing the Logopolitans.
		The Monitor on Logopolis explains that it is his people's calculations that are keeping the universe from destruction.
		The final story of the fourth Doctor, "Logopolis" bid farewell to Tom Baker as he plummeted to his doom from the Pharos Project radio telescope, affording companions Adric and Nyssa and new friend Tegan Jovanka (introduced in this story as played by actress Janet Fielding) the ability to say goodbye as he regenerated.

	42-LOGOPOLIS
		LOGOPOLIS seems written by someone who has known the frustration of computer programming; it is chockful of computer terms, such as registers, subroutines, and machine code, but used in a symbolic way, as Robert Holmes had used the British tax system in THE SUN MAKERS.
		The model work of the planet Logopolis is very good; and the design of the miniature is interesting and different, and blends well with the full size set.
		As the TARDIS materializes on Logopolis, Tegan finds her way back to the control room, and introductions are made.

	[No title]
		I first read the novelization of Logopolis when I was in the sixth grade.
		Much of the relevance of the Doctor Who novelization has faded with time: video and DVD have made the stories more accessible than they were in the 1970s and '80s; the fan base has grown up and no longer needs to read books that are 120 pages long.
		Logopolis, however, in spite of a few instances of purple prose and some clunky similes, retains a poetry distinct from the TV story from which it was adapted, and thus still bears reading today.

	Behind the Sofa: Logopolis
		When Logopolis first aired it was the done thing to think Pertwee was the best thing since sliced bread and that Graham Williams was a traitor to mankind.
		Logopolis isn't as the stinker that the backlash have made out in recent years, but it's far from the classic some would have us believe.
		Logopolis was the last story to feature Tom Baker in the role of the Doctor after seven years and it is a fitting end to his era.

	Thought Scraps
		Then the Master does whatever he does on Logopolis (what was he trying to archieve anyway?), which accidentally results in the near destruction of the entire Universe.
		I mean, her aunt has been murdered, the universe is about to be destroyed and all that she can think of is how to get back to Heathrow Airport and her job as a stewardess.
		By "hard science" they presumably mean that we get the Doctor explaining the laws of thermodynamics to the viewer (and he does a pretty good job of it, too).

	Target Practice #072: Doctor Who - Logopolis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		When flying into London, Adric sees the city first from a great distance (it looks like a map), after which the TARDIS gradually flies closer and zooms in on the city; this again suggests (as in Doctor Who and the Visitation) that the TARDIS has a materialised ‘flight’ mode.
		Later, the Doctor puts the TARDIS into ‘hover mode’ over Logopolis, which may be the same thing.
		Logopolis: ‘From the perspective of the hovering TARDIS’, it looks ‘like a giant brain’.

		But it's there the Master is beaten: for Logopolis is the keystone of the Universe, holding the moment of heat death at bay through sheer force of chanted numbers.
		Not only is "Logopolis" full of phrases like "unraveling the causal nexus" and "my biomechanisms are unaffected", but it's also got poetry: "And now the world I grew up in, blotted out forever"; "We are beyond recriminations...
		Logopolis succeeds in that a whole part of the story is the story of Doctor Who itself.

	Winter of discontinuity - Johnny Fanboy
		It is possible to argue that those final scenes of Logopolis are set during summer, if we assume that the advanced effects of the entropy field that is in the process of destroying the entire universe brings on the appearance of an early onset of winter.
		It’s possible that the Doctor travelled a few months through time when he journeyed to the planet Logopolis, but there doesn’t seem to be any reason for him to do so, unless of course it was by accident.
		A better solution might be to suggest that the restorative powers of the Doctor’s regeneration extended some considerable way beyond the confines of his body.

	Thought Scraps
		This story begins just where Logopolis left off, the final few minutes of Logopolis are even repeated at the beginning (where Peter Davison has notably darker and shorter hair than in the main story).
		Now I didn't particularily like Logopolis, it only got interesting in the last two episodes while the first two episodes were just one long pointless TARDIS runaround.
		Nyssa, on the other hand, was okay in the two or three Davison episodes I've seen her in and nearly non-existant in Logopolis.

	Comic Relief 1999 - Doctor Who
		The cue is taken from the original mono master tape of the "Logopolis" score, and given a pseudo-stereo effect.
		The music is cue 1m1 from "Logopolis", originally used over the sequence of the confusedly doomed Policeman trying to use a TARDIS as a Police Box.
		Taken from "Logopolis", cue 4m2 (near the start of part 4 as the TARDIS leaves Tegan on Logopolis) followed by 3m32 (the cliff-hanger of part 3).

		Watched "The Keeper of Traken" and started in on "Logopolis," and am enjoying immensely, although the "Logopolis" tape is a bit degraded in spots.
		It's in "Logopolis," when Adric and Nyssa are watching the entropy field creep across the universe, and Nyssa says she can't see Traken.
		I think that "Logopolis" is a possibility unless you finished watching it, and that the only other possibility is "Time-Flight." Weird.

		Next visiting Logopolis to initiate the repairs, they are joined by Nyssa of Traken.
		This endangers all reality, as Logopolis has been postponing the Universe's heat death by opening temporary Charged Vacuum Emboitments.

	About All Seven Regenerations: Tom Baker
		Tom Baker's first of over forty complete Doctor Who stories was Robot, broadcast between 1974 and '75, and his last was Logopolis, broadcast in 1981.
		Tom enhanced the strangeness of the Doctor's character, when many fans think of or about Tom Baker they often think of his strange, staring eyes, toothy smile, and incredibly long scarf which gave the appearance of insanity in human terms.
		There is a scene where the owner of the comic book store waddles by with a wheelbarrow packed full of tacos and says "Yes this should provide adequate sustenance for the Doctor Who marathon." This scene goes for exactly 4seconds and 42hundredths of a second.

	Why Doctor Who's 18th Season is Nifty-Keen
		"Logopolis" was, up to that point, the best Who ever done (later to be surpassed by "The Caves of Androzani," and then only by a hair).
		Perhaps the best thing about "Logopolis" is that it's short on padding.
		In "Logopolis," there's very little, and it's all early on, so you don't notice it so much.

		In the first major change to Doctor Who scheduling, the programme was no longer to be broadcast early on Saturday evenings, but instead twice-weekly, on a Monday and Tuesday evening (later to be switched to other weekdays).
		This was the first episode in which a pre-titles sequence was used, here a revised version of the ending of Logopolis featuring the Doctor's fourth regeneration.
		The security guards chasing the Doctor and his companions are different from the ones seen in Logopolis.

	Castrovalva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A repeat of the final scenes from Logopolis (1981), featuring Tom Baker regenerating, formed a pre-credits sequence (the first in the programme's history).
		These are not the same shoes worn by the Fourth Doctor in Logopolis, who wore knee-length buccaneer-style boots in that serial.
		However, it is repeatedly described in this story as "the creation of the galaxy", which is believed to be a quiet, tranquil coalescing of hydrogen predating the first stars rather than a dramatic cosmic event.

		This is the same kid who, when told by the Doctor to cross his fingers in Logopolis, made a cross as if he was warding off a vampire (which might have come in handy in State of Decay).
		Anthony Ainley, who became the Master at the end of part four, was very good as Councillor Tremas, though Sheila Ruskin tended to overdo her role as his wife.
		A mysterious ghostly figure appears and disappears, but the Doctor remains silent as to its identity, and the Master finally emerges from the shadows on Logopolis, poised to destroy the universe by eliminating its guardians.

	Logopolis - The Official Tom Baker Website Discussion Forum
		I guess the fact that a half of it is set on contemporary Earth could be a most obvious (but inherently unavoidable) factor.
		What I would do is try to get a copy of Logopolis and actually watch it.
		True, that effect was partially negated when Nyssa shows up and says that the mysterious man brought her to Logopolis, though giving someone a lift doesn't mean they're all sweetness and light, either.

		She was the first of The Doctor's companions to realize that the Watcher was a future projection of The Fifth Doctor, and aided the Time Lord's new persona in another battle against The Master (Castrovalva).
		Despite her grief at the murder of her aunt by The Master, she proved to be a capable ally during the crisis of The Doctor's regeneration (Logopolis, Castrovalva).
		With the crisis past, however, she wanted to be returned to Earth as soon as possible, and many of her early adventures with The Doctor were the result of his inability to steer the TARDIS back to her own time.
