Dr Who: Colony in Space: DVD Review
Dr Who - Colony in Space
Rating: PG
Released by BBC and Roadshow
It's to 1972 we head for this six part slice of time
travelling with Jon Pertwee's Dr Who.
When the
Time Lords realize the Doc's nemesis, the Master's got his hands on a Doomsday
device, they send the Doc and his companion Jo to the 25th century to try and
save the day.
Slightly wonky and aged sets aside,
this serial isn't a bad entry into the final batch of releases from the Who
range. Atmospherically put together and acted with such purpose by Pertwee and
Katy Manning, plus a great chemistry between Roger Delgado's The Master and The
Doctor, it's a fairly pacy romp which looks at the consequences of weaponry -
but in a non overtly preachy way.
An average set
of extras for the release include commentary and a doco looking back - but
nothing sensational.
Rating: 6/10
