Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension
TV & Film:TV Reviews
It’s an unusually low-key story for the Pertwee era, as we handle the classic dual menace of bureaucracy and sock puppets in Carnival of Monsters! Join us as we talk budget serials, grey worlds, Holmesian double acts, monster cameos, and the Doctor’s long-awaited return to regular space-and-time adventuring!
Over the course of the episode, Anthony finds himself alone in appreciating the bureaucrats of the serial, Julie continues to find herself please with the direction of the scores this season, Reilly enthuses over the monster design, and Don dreams of re-editing the entire serial. The entire crew find themselves disappointed at the general lack of monsters promised by the story’s title.
If you would like to watch along with us, this story is available for streaming at both Britbox US (https://www.britbox.com) and Britbox UK (https://www.britbox.co.uk).
