T...Watching all in order. This is the best so far. <br />Troughton is hilarious and yet assertive, very much enigmatic and in charge.<br />Never realised how pretty Wendy Padbury was, come to that Isobel too...Must be my age.<br />Great cliff hangers, they really used them well in this period. I take back what I said about Bryant, this is one of Camfields best. Love the classy camera work. Excellent musical score. Some quite shocking scenes, end of episode 4 deserves as high praise as the glorious 6. Iconic DW. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-1512437668523244152018-01-21T11:50:42.665-08:002018-01-21T11:50:42.665-08:00An AMAZING story.

It's full of action and Douglas Camfield shows the same superb level of direction as he did with The Web of Fear (at least epsiodes 1-4 anyway). 9/10Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-53061972109115522902017-02-17T05:20:00.636-08:002017-02-17T05:20:00.636-08:00In some ways this is better than the War Games, bu...In some ways this is better than the War Games, but of course its not as essential viewing.<br />The Mind Robber seems a lot tighter, but then it was really a 4 parter put into 5 installments.<br />I don't think there is much padding at all.. it really does a great job at fleshing out Vaughn and Packer. The Cybermen are not terribly interesting in their own right but are used very effectively. The Cyber Planner is much better done than the Wheel in Space version.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372675604861223439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5386390949828958591.post-8059246485844813092013-05-16T00:51:35.071-07:002013-05-16T00:51:35.071-07:00No arguments from me.

I love when the Doctor and Jamie realise they've been cornered by the two men and the Doctor sits down on the kerb, gets out a pack of cards and starts playing Patience! Sublime stuff...Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15713634025612143137noreply@blogger.com
