Doctor Who: Watchers in the Fourth Dimension
TV & Film:TV Reviews
Questionable physics, enormous amounts of CSO, and shamelessly riffing on Greek mythology in a way that hasn’t been done since Season 9? Yeah, it can only be Underworld – widely touted as the worst story of the Tom Baker era. But is it really as bad as its reputation suggests, or will the Watchers find plenty to forgive? We ARE in our controversial era, so ANYTHING is possible!
Join us as we discuss budget sofas, surprisingly good model work and costumes, more changes to Time Lord society, the spurious use of office supplies, invoking the spirit of Vicki, and, of course, lots of running up and down corridors and around CSO caves. Additionally, Anthony once again tries to fire Reilly… twice.
