 Sure! Here is a review of all four parts of "Doctor Who: Arc of Infinity" 
 based on the transcripts from the website you provided. 
 I'll evaluate each part in terms of narrative, character development, 
 pacing, and overall impact to rate them out of 10. 
  
 Part One 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor's bio-data extract is stolen from the Matrix on Gallifrey, 
 and an antimatter creature attempts to bond with him. Meanwhile, on Earth, 
 Tegan meets her cousin Colin in Amsterdam. The Doctor is summoned 
 to Gallifrey by the High Council to investigate the theft. 
 They discover that a traitor within the Time Lords 
 has helped the creature. The Doctor is taken to the chamber 
 where the Time Lords attempt to terminate him to prevent the bonding. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part One effectively sets up the story with multiple intriguing plot 
 threads. 
 The theft of the Doctor's bio-data and the introduction of the antimatter 
 creature create immediate tension. The scenes on Gallifrey provide 
 a sense of urgency, and the subplot with Tegan adds a personal touch. 
 The pacing is good, with the narrative smoothly transitioning between 
 Gallifrey and Earth. The cliffhanger, with the Doctor's life at risk, 
 is compelling. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Two 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The termination process is interrupted, saving the Doctor's life. 
 The Doctor and Nyssa escape and begin investigating the traitor's 
 identity. On Earth, Tegan and Colin discover a crypt where a Time Lord 
 and the antimatter creature are hiding. The Doctor and Nyssa travel 
 to Amsterdam to confront the creature. The traitor, revealed to be Hedin, 
 assists Omega, the antimatter creature, in his plan to return to the matter 
 universe. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Two builds on the mystery and tension established in the first episode. 
 The revelation of Hedin as the traitor adds depth to the plot, 
 and the involvement of Omega provides a strong antagonist. 
 The scenes in Amsterdam add variety to the setting, 
 and Tegan's storyline becomes more intertwined with the main plot. 
 The pacing remains solid, and the cliffhanger leaves the audience eager 
 for the next part. 
  
 Rating: 8/10 
  
 Part Three 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor and Nyssa arrive in Amsterdam and reunite with Tegan. 
 They discover Omega's plan to use the Arc of Infinity, a Time Lord artifact, 
 to cross into the matter universe. The High Council of Time Lords 
 debates their next move, while Omega prepares to transfer 
 his consciousness into the Doctor's body. The Doctor confronts Omega 
 but is overpowered. The episode ends with Omega's successful transfer, 
 taking on the Doctor's appearance. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Three heightens the stakes with the Doctor's confrontation with Omega. 
 The scenes on Gallifrey add political intrigue, while the action 
 in Amsterdam keeps the plot dynamic. Omega's successful transfer 
 into the Doctor's body is a dramatic and effective twist, creating 
 a sense of urgency for the final part. The pacing is well-managed, 
 and the narrative complexity increases. 
  
 Rating: 8.5/10 
  
 Part Four 
  
 Summary: 
  
 The Doctor, now inhabited by Omega, struggles to regain control. 
 Nyssa, Tegan, and Colin work to stop Omega's plan. The Doctor's friends 
 succeed in creating a disruption, allowing the Doctor to regain control 
 temporarily. The Doctor confronts Omega, who begins to destabilise 
 in the matter universe. The Doctor manages to send Omega back 
 to the antimatter universe, restoring order. Tegan decides 
 to rejoin the TARDIS crew. 
  
 Review: 
  
 Part Four delivers a satisfying conclusion to the story. 
 The Doctor's struggle with Omega provides dramatic tension, 
 and the efforts of Nyssa, Tegan, and Colin to stop Omega 
 add to the action. The final confrontation is well-executed, 
 and Omega's fate is resolved neatly. The pacing is brisk, 
 and the resolution feels earned. Tegan's decision to rejoin 
 the TARDIS crew adds a positive note to the ending. 
  
 Rating: 8.5/10 
  
 Overall Rating and Final Thoughts 
  
 "Arc of Infinity" is a well-crafted story that combines intrigue, 
 action, and character development. The return of Omega as a villain 
 and the political machinations on Gallifrey add depth to the narrative. 
 Here are the individual and overall ratings: 
  
     Part One: 8/10 
     Part Two: 8/10 
     Part Three: 8.5/10 
     Part Four: 8.5/10 
  
 Overall Rating: 8.25/10 
  
 The serial stands out for its engaging plot, strong character 
 interactions, and high stakes. It effectively balances 
 the Doctor's personal struggles with larger political 
 and existential threats, making "Arc of Infinity" a memorable 
  and impactful entry in the "Doctor Who" series.
