Dr Who: Space Museum/Chase DVD Review
Dr Who - The Space Museum/ The Chase
Rating: PG
Released by BBC and Roadshow Home Entertainment
It's back to 1965 and the very first Doctor in this double release
set which continues to see Classic Dr Who released on DVD.
In The Space Museum,a vast museum of relics - along with their own
future selves - causes problems for the TARDIS crew and in The
Chase, the Daleks once again return as they chase the time
travellers through the vortex and stop at nothing in trying to
exterminate their enemies.
How much you'll appreciate these releases depends on how much of a
Who fan you are - and how far you're willing to suspend disbelief.
With 60s Who, it's about forgetting we have great technology these
days which brings the stories to life with effects - in "those
days" it was about having this original show on TV the likes of
which had never been seen before. Sure it's slightly slow and not
as pacy as you'd like - but it's as inventive and imaginative as
ever.
Extras: A great bunch once again off set any minor
niggles with this release - a look at the departure of characters
Barbara and Ian, a look at the appeal of the Daleks and a tribute
to William Hartnell are just three of the plethora of features on
the set.
Rating: 6/10
