To be honest I am not an avid fan of the Sylvester McCoy era but this story, Remembrance and Survival are the only exceptions.
Before I even watched this I had high hopes for it because it oversees the introduction of Ace, one of my fave companions. This story gives her a good introduction and by the time of Survival it's nice to see how much she has matured from here.
The story itself is actually quite good and has plenty of twists and a cast of strong guest characters.
Sylvester McCoy puts on a pretty average performance as the good Doctor (then again to be fair it is the end of only his first season). However Bonnie Langford is diabolical as Mel and makes me releived that this is her final story. Tony Selby mainly steals the show however as the lovable space crook Glitz.
Overall Dragonfire isn't the best and yet isn't the worst story in the entire history of Doctor Who. It stand shoulder to shoulder with stories such as Logopolis, The Keeper of Traken and Twin Dillema.
