VHS : Doctor Who The Edge of Destruction and The Pilot Episode [1963]

Doctor Who The Edge of Destruction and The Pilot Episode [1963]


starring: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison
May 02, 2000


The pilot episode is interesting if little else, but inside the spaceship / the edge of destruction (whichever title you prefer) gives us the first real chance to see the original TARDIS crew as characters in their own right, instead of just Dalek-chasers. Yes the Daleks made Dr. Who a household name, but does anyone really believe the series would have lasted so long without stories of this calibre? True sci-fi, real characters and not a BEM to be seen.

directed by: Christopher Barry
January 24, 2000


Interesting story, fun run-around, good to see the brig and sarah re-united, and victoria is great! Debbie Watling really excels as the older Victoria, and is given a lot better than she did in the series. Anyway. Maybe its just me.

VHS : Doctor Who The Face of Evil [1963]

Doctor Who The Face of Evil [1963]


starring: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison
May 04, 1999


1: Tom Baker is excellent as the deranged Xoanon

2: Louise makes a brilliant entrance as Leela

3: The horda are cute.

4: The tesh are gits, but likeable ones, with their arm flapping!

5: Tom is great as ever as the Doc too.

6: The tribe have more developed characters than usual.

7: Great comic moments, especially how Leela runs into the TARDIS despite the Doc not really wanting to take her.

8: We for once get a sizeable chunk of story to see whats happened after the enemy has been thwarted, which is a nice change.

9: the staue looks impressive.

10: Good actual 25 min eps for a change!

Need I go on?

VHS : Coronation Street - Viva Las Vegas! [2000]

Coronation Street - Viva Las Vegas! [2000]


starring: Tom Wisdom, Matthew Marsden, Joanne Whalley, Linus Roache, Stephen Graham
directed by: Alan Bromly, Alan Grint, Anne Ross Muir, Baz Taylor, Brian Lennane
July 17, 2000


Second video spin off special of Coronation Street which is better than the first which was set on a cruise but at the same time is silly and over the top. However its entertaining stuff as you see different sides to Jack, Vera (the streets funniest couple) and Fiona and Maxine. Comedy plays an integral part to this spin off and at times its crazy antics come across like a modern day Carry On film but fans will lap this up as it is fun to see four great characters away from the street. A watchable video that has some funny moments.

VHS : Doctor Who: Revenge of the Cybermen [1963]

Doctor Who: Revenge of the Cybermen [1963]


starring: Tom Baker, Ian Marter, Michael E. Bryant, Elisabeth Sladen
April 12, 1999


I will confess that this story is not as good as I thought it would be but as time passes it does grow on me.

The cybermen themselves are back on track after their underused performance in 'The Invasion' and are seen to be a lot more cunning and manipulative. E.g. using human greed to aquire the services of a human agent. However I am disapointed that they don't have much involvement in the story until episode 3 but their performance makes up for that.

Tom Baker is excellent as the Doctor, as usual. His banter with the Cyberleader during episode three is a mixture of seriousness and silliness and thats what makes it so good.

Companions Harry and Sarah are seen to have their own mini adventure in this story trying to ... Read More:

VHS : Doctor Who - The E-Space Trilogy (Warriors' Gate / Full Circle / State of Decay) [1963]

Doctor Who - The E-Space Trilogy (Warriors' Gate / Full Circle / State of Decay) [1963]


starring: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison
November 03, 1997


The espace trilogy boasts three of the best ever Doctor Who stories, all very different in style and writing and feel. And each brilliant and imaginative.

First, there's Full Circle, with atmosphere and brilliant misty moments. Matthew Waterhouse makes his debut as Adric, and actually he isnt that bad an actor at all in my opinion. Tom Baker is serious and brilliant in this story, and Lalla is good as Romana. The atmosphere of the marsh scenes are really effective and believeable. And the marsh child is cute! A good start!!!

then theres State of Decay. A vampire story without so much blood and guts as in the trillions of Dracula movies, theres really no need for it. Doctor who hardly ever had much blood, and its the better for it. People ... Read More:

VHS : Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]

Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]


starring: Peter Davison, Frazer Hines, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Richard Hurndall
directed by: John Nathan-Turner, Pennant Roberts, Peter Moffatt
July 02, 1990


This episode is one of those rare occasions where the then current doctor meets his previous selves.This time its Peter Davison(the 5th doctor)meeting with his other selves.Sadly William Hartnell (the 1st doctor)had passed away by the time this was made,so another actor takes his place.He is no Hartnell,but is adequate .Patrick Troughton(the 2nd doctor)and Jon pertwee reprise their roles with aplomb.The Brigadier puts in an appearance and is his usual self.Unfortunately Tom Baker-the 4th,and best doctor-is only in it for 2 minutes,and doesnt get to meet any of his alter egos.He would have made this episode even better.There is very little plot here,but there are some great scenes involving the daleks,the cybermen,the master and of course,the 5 doctors.

VHS : Doctor Who The Seeds of Doom [1963]

Doctor Who The Seeds of Doom [1963]


starring: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison
August 01, 1994


The above is just one of the memorable lines uttered by Tom Baker's Doctor in this, what is regarded by many as the start of the so-called 'golden era' of Doctor Who. First broadcast in 1975 at the end of the fourth Doctor's second season, the serial sees Baker really hit his stride whilst Elisabeth Sladen exudes confidence; the resulting chemistry cementing the series' greatest double-act until Lalla Ward's Romana came along.
Not really one of the much-vaunted 'gothic' stories, this is more of a 'Boy's Own' romp, the action switching from Antarctic wastes to the mansion belonging to the sinister Harrison Chase, an unhinged billionaire botanist. Featuring green slimy monsters, ingenious methods of disposing of one's enemies and a host of 1970s TV stalwarts (plus the ... Read More:

Doctor Who - The Five Doctors / The King's Demons - Box Set [1983]


starring: Peter Davison, Frazer Hines, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Richard Hurndall
directed by: John Nathan-Turner, Pennant Roberts, Peter Moffatt
November 06, 1995


'The Five Doctors' has since been released on dvd (twice) so I will restrict this review to the two part story 'The King's Demons'. This was not meant to be the last story of the 20th season, but ended up being so due to a strike that resulted in a Dalek story being cancelled. As such, it is hardly the bang that a season should end with, simply showing the Master meddling around with history. At two parts at least it does not outstay it's welcome. It is surprising that JNT ever allowed Kamelion to come aboard the TARDIS as a new companion, seeing that he did not like K9. Regular viewers would have had no problem identifying the story's villain the moment he appears in 'disguise'. That aside, this is a watchable enough tale, though no classic.

VHS : Doctor Who The Sea Devils [1995] [1963]

Doctor Who The Sea Devils [1995] [1963]


starring: William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison
September 04, 1995


The Sea devils is definitely one of the best jon stories. It has all the right and essential ingredients-good monsters, good acting and great cliff hangers. Jon Pertwee is on fine form as the Doctor, giving a cool and calculating performance as the Doc. And Roger Delgado gives one of his best performances too. Another thing about this story is the great sound track. creepy and modern at the same time. this is one of the few doctor who stories with real menace and tension. great story.
