"Let's try and make it impossible to understand, so we can look smart!"

If there were any lingering doubts about how bad this serial was when I watched it on TV, they were smashed away when I bought the DVD. Not from the serial itself. My opinion was about the same. But the extras just made me sick.
Honestly, after watching the writer, script editor, and the like pat themselves on the back for making a "Complicated" story, I wanted to throw the television set out the window. Plan to assassinate Queen Victoria? Josiah would be arrested in about five seconds? What would make him think they would make him King? Light making a survey but trying to stop the human race from evolving... uh, could you run that by me again? If the audience is lost, then you haven't made a good script, you've friggen lost them.
Andrew Cartmel (script editor) talking about how it seems straightforward to him, after about a thousand reads and edits, and how he doesn't understand why more people can't follow it. Maybe because IT WAS ONLY MEANT TO BE SHOWN ON TV ONCE. And people in the 80's would've only watched it once, maybe twice with a repeat.
I could go on, but frankly, I've had enough. This was NOT a return to Doctor Who's best, as some people have claimed. (You could make a better case for The Curse of Fenric or Survival, but that's another review). Just avoid it like leprosy. |
