I've decided to write about
Doctor Who instead of working on my
thesis. A while back, yer man
Nicholas Whyte advanced the theory that there are no good Colin Baker era
Doctor Who stories. I wondered if that was maybe a bit harsh, and so combining my memory and
Wikipedia's list of Sixth Doctor stories I will now pass verdict on that era, starting with Colin Baker's first story,
The Twin Dilemma. It was not very good. The
John Nathan-Turner slide into shite is now very marked.
I have the novelisation of this, which is actually very entertaining, partly due to lots of very Douglas Adams asides about minor characters that get approx. 3 lines. I have gotten quite used to the modern pace of Who, to the point where I couldn't really imagine how they could spin more than two episodes out of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a clever attempt to force yourself to work on your thesis
