Doctor Who: The Dalek Contract

IMG_9023

Great to have David Warner back in this story. It’s a 2 part story so the next part won’t arrive until next month, but in some ways I don’t want it to as it’s going to mean the end of this season and therefore the last Mary Tamm story. It’s such a shame.

Anyway, this is a great story on it’s own, a real classic Doctor Who style story. I love them and Tom Baker and Mary Tamm are amazing as always.

Doctor Who: Myths and Legends

A great box set of Who stories which is rounding off my collection of Tom Baker’s 4th Doctor stories.

The Forbidden Planet

I’ve loved this film for years and years, and I’ve only just got a copy of it at last. It’s amazing to think that it was made in 1956. The story still leaves me with questions, and the concepts are as relevant today as they were then.

The design and art are incredible, and I’d love to be able to walk around the krell machines to see them better.

Doctor Who: Underworld

Another Tom Baker story. Quite a good one too. I enjoyed it, and I’m not sure that I’d seen it before either.

Doctor Who: The Horns of Nimon

I hadn’t seen this story for a long time, and I’d forgotten that Janet Ellis (of Bluepeter) was in it too. As 4th doctor stories go it wasn’t amazing, but I’m glad to see it again nevertheless. I got it as part of the ‘Myths and Legends’ box set.

May the 4th be with you

Well, it’s May the 4th and of course you have to celebrate, and it looks like lots of people have. Certainly from a quick look at Instragram plenty of people have had some fun today.

Anyway, for the first time ever I watched the three original movies back to back. It was great. Like them or not they are a phenomenon in their own right. It also made me realise just how much better the first three are over the later movies, and it makes me hope that the new film(s) will be of a high standard.

Blake’s 7: Warship

After listening to the chronicles 2 I listened to this hour long story. It’s a full cast production and it works really well. I think that of the Blake’s 7 big finish productions pieces I’ve listened to, this is one of the best so far. I really enjoyed the story and I’m hopeful that it’ll lead on to something interesting.
