Dr Who: Revisitations 2 - DVD Review
Dr Who - Revisitations 2
Rating: PG
Released by BBC and Roadshow
The second set of remastered classic Doctor Who
releases collects together 1960s tale The Seeds of Death, 1970s The Carnival of
Monsters and the 1980s Dalek tale, Resurrection of the Daleks.
As the original series of DVD releases near an end,
it's inevitable some of the earlier releases would be put out again given they
didn't have the wealth of extras and weren't as polished as the later releases
have become.
It's almost as if the BBC knew there
would be a degree of cynicism about this trio of releases because the extras
lavished on the sets are quite simply excellent and worth the money alone.
The stories themselves are a decent bunch and showcase
some of the best and worst of the show - it's great to see the Ice Warriors and
Daleks back and there's something curious about the technicolour spectacle which
is Carnival of Monsters.
But the effort which has
gone into the remastering and the wealth of docos is the main reason to cherish
the Revisitations 2 set; the piece de resistance is an hour long doco presented
by David Tennant (The 10th Doctor) looking at the time Peter Davison spent in
the role as Dr Who No 5 - it's a solidly entertaining piece which picks up the
tensions, restraints and the successes of the era.
I'll continue to welcome these Revisitations Sets as long as the
wealth of special features on this six disc set continues to be as excellent as
this latest outing.
