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
