1.Doctor Who The Greatest Show in the Galaxy [1963] starring: Sylvester McCoy, T.P. McKenna, Chris Jury, Peggy Mount, Ricco Ross directed by: Alan Wareing January 24, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £9.49
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:

2.Doctor Who - Survival [1989] starring: Sylvester McCoy, Sophie Aldred, Anthony Ainley, Julian Holloway, Lisa Bowerman directed by: Alan Wareing October 02, 1995

Although the last story to be broadcast after Doctor Who's original 26 year run, before the series was quietly dropped by BBC executives, it has no feeling of a programme which has become tired and uninspired. Indeed Season 26 is easily the best series in 5 years, with 3 of its 4 stories now highly regarded by fans of the series. Survival as one of this 3 stories features the return of The Master, finally potrayed in a more serious and straight manner, than the somewhat pantomime version of recent years. Indeed the late Anthony Ainley's final and indeed best performance as the Doctor's Timelord nemesis, evokes memories of the definite incarnation potrayred by Roger Delegado. Although the monsters are less successful, nowadays the Cheetah people look more ... Read More:

There are many good things about Ghost Light - the wonderfully decorated sets, the atmospheric lighting, surreal imagery, and striking visual effects as well as a haunting music score... but the effect of all of these is undermined by the fact that the story is an incoherent mess. It's not that I don't like complex stories. It's that Ghost Light, at its core, has a very simple story told extremely badly. This is not entirely the writer's fault. The blame lies substantially with the script editor, who did not iron out many of the rough paches, and should have, as well as making sure the story was intelligible to a general viewer. The most popular periods of Dr. Who's history have been when the producer couldn't give a toss for fandom. As it is, Ghost Light ... Read More:
