Very old Who
13 September 2006 21:22Got The Web Planet DVD today and watched the first two episodes. I was rather curious about this as this seems to be the one First Doctor story that really divides opinions - whether it's utter, complete crap, or something that should be lauded for being a brave attempt at something new and properly alien (especially brave for a show that basically didn't have a budget back then).
So far, I'm rather liking it. :D It definitely does feel alien - okay, theatre stage alien, and with very very funny costumes - and at least the start has been suitably eerie. I'm glad I waited for the DVD to watch it though, as I can only guess that being presented in anything but the best quality possible for Who of that era would not really help.
