"The Aztecs" = Never seen it.
"The Time Meddler" = I like it.
"Earthshock" = One of only 2 Davison stories that didn't send me to sleep.
"Delta & the Bannermen" = I cannot watch stories with Mel in it on medical grounds........I risk an injured foot if it goes through the TV screen
I recently bought the "Revisitations volume 1" box set which has rereleases of 3 early DVD releases with new extras. It contains,
"The Talons of Weng-Chiang" = My 2nd favorite story ever.
There's a great new "Making of" feature in the extras that has Tom Baker and producer Philip Hinchcliffe in conversation as well as contributions from Louise Jameson and the actors that played Jago & Litefoot.
"The Caves of Androzani" = The other Davison story I like a great deal, largely because the 5th Doctor actually has some personality in it..........he's basically channeling Tom Baker for much of the story and I reckon the writer ( Robert Holmes ) still had Tom's Doctor in his head when doing the dialogue.
"TV Movie" = McCoy and McGann are great, Eric Roberts was passable as the Master although the CGI morphing and venom spitting bits were bollocks.
Other than that it's essentially a prototype of the RTD years eg
1.The companion falls in love with the Doctor.
2.The Doctor is revealed to be half human which clearly influenced RTD to try and finish the job off.
3.People "die" then get brought back almost straight away.
4.The style of storytelling is very Americanised although unlike Nu-Who it was specifically targeted to that market so there's more of an excuse.
I had to see it once to satisfy my curiosity about McGann but there's no way I'll see it again.
After liking my initial viewings via download I've also bought "Remembrance of the Daleks Special Edition", "Battlefield" & "Ghost Light" and will be getting "The Curse of Fenric" & "Survival" when I next have the cash.
