Green Death, Invasion of the Dinosaurs, Creature from the Pit, Nightmare of Eden. But this cannot be excused. The decision to televise this as it was finished probably resulted in the ultimate end of the show 5 years later, certainly contributed to the hiatus and the one thing that should have happened, didn't, they should have sacked the Producer after s23, certainly not the Doctor. I have approached the Nathan-Turner era with an open mind and have enjoyed most of the stories, but this is horrific. Its so bad because of how the last production team were accused of 'that'll do' production, so hypocritical. The script is good. A Diet Coke Earthshock, but so badly made, acted, scored. Its not even bad and funny with it. This is how not to make Doctor Who, they gave Pennant Roberts another story next season. This is Nathan-Turners 4th season, by then Barry Letts was making The Green Death. I watched Kinda and realised how different 2 stories one after the other can be, I think the same will happen here. Just crap and no excuses, should have postponed it til next season.Linx D Oderanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06587578831858117637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-50415357930591741982017-04-28T08:32:04.745-07:002017-04-28T08:32:04.745-07:00The opening scene in the TARDIS sums up the 5th Do...The opening scene in the TARDIS sums up the 5th Doctor era, a passive aggressive Doctor in a dysfunctional domestic relationship with his companions.David Pirtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00636601389899125100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-5373854215598604292013-12-08T04:45:19.645-08:002013-12-08T04:45:19.645-08:00Here's a link to his review of CC The Beginnin...Here's a link to his review of CC The Beginning:<br /><br />http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.kr/2013/11/the-beginning-written-by-marc-platt-and.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-19733703207654159462013-12-05T11:42:21.399-08:002013-12-05T11:42:21.399-08:00I was puzzled at the statement that "he's...I was puzzled at the statement that "he's drowned", I mean, c'mon, doesn't he know how to swim or something? it's like he has fallen into an acid pool :/<br />I agree with your review<br /><br />btw, have you reviewed the CC The Beginning?
