Doctor Who: The TV Movie with the Pertwee Logo

TV Movie with the Pertwee Logo
altariel: Pwwwrphhhhrrrrrrrrp. Obviously, it's wrong. And yet, it was so exciting at the time, and so enjoyable to watch at the time that I kind of forgive it.
mraltariel: Yes. It has obviously got little to do with the show we've just spent the last few years watching, and more to do with a show the people who made it *remember* watching.
altariel: And everything to do with a show they think they can sell to the States. And they're wrong. At least, the show comes too much from that impulse, rather than from the impulse to make Doctor Who. Still, McGann's cute.
mraltariel: Apart from that bloody wig and stupid costume. Surprisingly, I like the total-bollocks-overdrive TARDIS set, though. And there are lots of nice bits - like the police bike riding into the TARDIS shell, and the shoes and wotnot.
altariel: And McCoy.
mraltariel: Even though his presence is one of the many things structurally wrong with it. Having said that, the opening act is probably the best bit - it descends into nonsense from about half-way through.
altariel: *nods sagely*


Ranking
TV Movie with the Pertwee Logo

altariel: I hope it doesn't get a series. It'll get canned after 6 episodes and we'll never get it back.
mraltariel: A good try, but it doesn't quite hit the spot. Someone else should have a go.
