Customer Reviews

Italian story, with cockney geezers, filmed in Wales. Er...
This is great fun and has some lovely sparking between Tom Baker as The Doctor and Lis Sladen as the recently resurrected Sarah Jane Smith. Set in Italy and with lots of tights and similar medieval period costumes, it is the story of The Doctor accidentally bringing an energy called the Mandragora Helix to Earth in the TARDIS, and him then trying to get rid of it, as it is hell bent on destruction (no change there then). Why we have what sounds like an East-End villain as one of the guards is, sadly, not explained in the story. Filmed in Portmerion in North Wales (of The Prisoner fame, and not really much else - it has been dining out on this fact for over 40 years now), it looks good and is an entertaining romp. In no means a gold star classic, but a good yarn from a period that was almost uniformally of a high standard. A recommended purchase.

So Near
Oh, Masque. You are a little tease.
Nestled at the start of season fourteen, with a new Tardis interior, Sarah Jane's penultimate story. What's not to love?
Doctor Who during its original peak. Bring on the Masque, it's ready to roll.
