VHS : Doctor Who The Greatest Show in the Galaxy [1963]
So, then. The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. A tale with a decent reputation, a tale that has been well received by everyone else who's reviewed it so far. An 'oddball story', true, but one which commands far more respect within fandom than, say, Delta and the Bannermen. A difficult story to attack, one would say.

But really, it's tripe, isn't it?

OK, that's not entirely fair. 'Tripe' is a strong word, and it isn't one I'd attach to any Doctor Who story. But if I was forced to, really forced to, Greatest Show is without any doubt the one I would choose.

It's a shame, really, because it boasts some excellent features. Mike Morris above mentions the direction (at some length), and fair point, it's a well ... Read More:

VHS : Ladies Who Do [1963]
A wonderful, classis comedy in the Boulting Brothers / Ealing Studios mould. Good strong characterisation, an engaging story line and the whole enriched immeasurably by the peerless Robert Morley.

VHS : The Naked Truth [1957]
It's hard to see this decent comedy film now as anything much more than an early vehicle for that genius Peter Sellers. For Sellers fans this film is essential. It has him playing a comic master of impersonation, which is of course what he himself was, as we can see here in this film. Vocally, I don't think I've heard a better mimic in my life - the handful of excellent voice artists we have now are all superb but could they do a whole film in character without waivering one bit, as Sellers did? Sellers was far more than a mimic though, as he proved after radio that he could really act, and not just comedy! My favourite skit of his here is the Irishman, looking 'for a bit of jelly'. Alot of these film characters he did before Cleuseu made him a superstar ... Read More:

VHS : The Princess And The Goblin [1992]
To anyone who has not been fortunate enough to have seen 'The Princess and the Goblin' - WATCH IT! NOW! It is without a doubt one of my favourite films EVER and is not only for children. I have found watching it as an adult to be just as enjoyable as it was when I was a child and picked up on an undertone of very dark humour (mainly supplied by the Goblin aka Rik Mayall). It's a must see!
