Movie Reviews of Doctor Who: The Trial of a Time Lord
Movie Review: Classic and Epic Doctor Who
Summary: 4 Stars
This a great boxed set for any hardcore Who fan and has no shortage of special features not to mention the longest story on DW history. It is true that JNT could have done a better job with the series and this season, but keep in mind that Doctor Who must always be changing and evolving. The sixties were great but nothing compared to the incredibly awesome seventies(particularly the Tom Baker/Phillip Hinchcliffe era.) The show has to change and stay fresh and like it or not the JNT period did produce some wonderful episodes. Caves of Androzani,Warriors of the Deep,and Keeper of Traken to name a few. Everything can't be as good or as timeless as the Tom Baker years. How can you compete with Genesis of the Daleks or Horror of Fang Rock. Even the new series which has huge faults will occasionally put out something really terrific like Midnight(one of the 10th Doctor's finest.) Getting back to Trial of a Time Lord, which I might add has the second best intro/music of the entire show's history in my opinion. If you're a real fan than there is no question that you have to buy this boxed set and most likely enjoy it. Mysterious Planet and The Ultimate Foe are both good solid stories but Mindwarp is the real gem. It has a compelling and very dark story and might be Colin Baker's finest episode. It also has a huge treat for those of you that love I Claudius, one of the BBC's finest productions. That's right, I'm talking of coarse about the great larger than life Brian Blessed. As for Terror of the Vervoids, it SUCKS! It might be DW's worst story ever. I cannot understand what Eric Saywood(sorry if I'm mispelling his name but I don't feel like looking it up) saw in the terrible writing team of Pip And Jane Baker. And why, besides Robert Holmes, did they never bring on writers from the show's early years? I never understood that. That's what really did in poor Colin Baker. He was a really good Doctor and had the potential to be a great Doctor but the writing was usually bad in that period. So besides the one crappy episode my advice for any true Who fans is to buy the damn thing, put it in the DVD player and ENJOY! Thanks for reading my review and I hope you found it helpful.
