This. Is. Awful. Doctor Who’s team went to Lanzarote for no reason. Anthony Ainley’s gives the
only good performance in a sea of bad acting. The writing is so, so pointless
and boring, there are little to no memorable scenes, Kamelion returns – for no
reason – and it’s all depressingly bad. 2/10.
50 words.

Derek Landy’s work
is so marvellously original, mind-boggling and brilliant; he seemed like a
natural fit for this series. But is this good? Yes. The characterisation is
good, the plot is reduced but enjoyable, and there’re nice peril-y moments. But
something feels a bit wrong, and I can’t explain what. 7/10. 50 words.
My my. This is so
awful it doesn’t deserve any praise at all. So I won’t give it any. This is
tedious and boring. There is little plot. The Doctor and Peri are characterised
badly and given nothing to do. The music is terrible, and the Cybermen used
terribly. There. 1/10. 50 words.
This is utter
trollop, a hundred minutes of bare-minimum sets and unconvincing acting. There is
little story, with the Lazar’s disease idea being the only saving grace of what
was described in an online review as “four long, gruelling episodes of misery
and boredom”, directed atrociously. Never ever watch this. 1/10. 50 words.
I was surprised when I watched what’s known as one
of the worst Who stories ever –
because I like it. Its faults are with its budget – cheap 80s effects and unconvincing
puppets – but the story has got some very nice elements (such as the
timephasing crystals). All in all, underappreciated. 7/10. 50 words.
This is a delicious concept – temptation, and
being able to go to your past and meet your parents before they died, and would
you save them? – and it’s acted perfectly by Elisabeth Sladen in particular. The
writing’s stellar, and the direction conveys the strong messages of a
monumental story. Great. 9/10. 50
words.
