Another two adventures featuring the bold Time Lord are released on DVD, again showcasing different eras from the long running BBC adventure series. “Carnival of Monsters” dates from 1973 and the tenth season of the exhibit, with the companion release “Resurrection of the Daleks” hailing from season twenty-one broadcast in 1984.

As with all the previous DVD releases of Doctor Who, the archive material has been painstakingly restored, with spectacular results. Each of the two stories looks as impressive as when the adventures were first broadcast all those years ago. In addition to the restoration, a number of very inspiring extras has been added to both releases which are almost worth the brand of the discs alone.

Starting with the earlier adventure, starring Jon Pertwee as the third incarnation of The Doctor, there are a lot of goodies included along with the four-part adventure. The narrative itself marked something of a watershed in the Pertwee era, since it was the first to feature the Doctor traveling freely in time and position since the shaded and white Troughton era which ended in 1969. The intervening seasons had become somewhat dead with endless earth prance adventures, albeit with occasional escapes for the Doctor, so it was refreshing to have the Doctor once more freely roaming the universe. “Carnival of Monsters” was the first yarn to be recorded for season ten, actually being completed as portion of the production block for season nine in 1972. It was held over and transmitted second in the tenth anniversary season. It was also the second Pertwee myth to be directed by the show’s producer, Barry Letts. Letts provides a genuinely tantalizing commentary along with the other star of the note, Katy Manning, the actress who played the enormously current Jo Grant. Although a fairly one-dimensional character, Manning certainly brought a grand deal of energy and warmth to her portrayal of Grant, and that enthusiasm hasn’t been lost in the thirty plus years since the anecdote was made. Manning and Letts are clearly gratified to be reunited again for this DVD, and their commentary is appealing, informative and indeed luscious. There are also on conceal captions to have in the gaps in their memories.

This release differs from the earlier VHS release considerably. The four episodes have been re-mastered from the novel broadcast tapes. All the additional footage and indeed edits from the VHS release have been included as extras rather than in the body of the programme. There is also a gripping, but short, behind-the-scenes stare at the making of the programme, plus an abandoned reworking of the theme tune, some model work, a photo gallery, the trailer from a 1981 TV show and an Easter egg to obtain.

The record itself is witty and refreshing, being penned by the programmes most prolific and well-liked writer, Robert Holmes, and acted well by the assembled cast. Sadly, I would say the production is let down by some gaudy form and costuming, particularly the scenes on the alien planet, but that was often the case with the Pertwee stories. The sister release, “Resurrection of the Daleks” is quite different and mighty darker in tone and appearance. Heralding the return of the Doctor’s oldest and most approved enemies after a five year absence from the explain, this tale is from the extinguish of Peter Davison’s rather brief reign as the fifth incarnation of the Time Lord and indeed marks the destroy of an era as it includes the departure of the long running companion Tegan Jovanka, played by Janet Fielding.

One of the things I was dreading for this release was the commentary featuring Davison, Fielding and director Matthew Robinson. Davison has not exactly been inspiring with the earlier releases he has contributed to, and as most hard-core fans of the display know, Fielding has been extremely essential of the show; particularly it’s portrayal of female characters in the years since she relinquished her role. However, I am gratified to relate that their commentary is astonishing! Definitely the highlight of the release. Obviously Fielding has rediscovered her sense of humor, and doesn’t even seem to mind when Davison and Robinson beget endless sexist remarks about her costume and legs! Although it’s a bit mean, their sending up of fellow actor Brand Strickson (Turlough) is genuinely silly. Robinson is actually the old link in the commentary team, since unfortunately he is almost impossible to silence, and constantly talks over the other two. But it’s a minor quibble.

Another surprise is the inclusion of BOTH John Nathan-Turner; the shows much-maligned long running producer, and his script editor Eric Saward who also penned the script. The two fell out while producing the ill-fated twenty-third season of the explain resulting in Saward stalking out of the programme mid-way through production and a stout deal of public mud-slinging. Although they are not actually seen together, they’ve both filmed fresh sequences with Director Robinson at the locations musty for the filming of the anecdote. The on-screen production notes are a small boring on this release, and there are also two features from the BBC’s “Breakfast Time” which actually have precious runt to do with the epic itself. But they’re fun to explore again.

It’s a taught sage, with a stellar guest cast, although like most of the Davison era, it’s all a itsy-bitsy too complex, and doesn’t stand up to a colossal deal of scrutiny. Some of the area holes are magnificent tall, but it detached works as a very interesting fraction. The episodes are included as produced, in four 25-minute episodes, even though they were actually transmitted as two 45-minute episodes at the time, thanks to the BBC’s coverage of the 1984 Winter Olympics.

They’re both expansive releases, and a welcome addition to the growing Doctor Who DVD library. I’d recommend both discs even if you’re not a die-hard fan of the present.

“Resurrection of the Daleks” is the first of the stories available on DVD that I saw as a fan. I was only eleven years faded and had only been watching the indicate (aired nightly on PBS) for a month. It made a grand impact on me and led, indirectly, to my sitting here on a perfectly honorable September evening 19 years later, writing this review.

A lot of “Resurrection” is calm effective today. I saw this account first the year that it debuted — 1984 — and, of course, a lot of the acting and special effects seem woefully dated today. What I like is the air of right *menace* around these Daleks, as opposed to a string of predictable, less-than-memorable 1970s outings. These Daleks actually instill panic in their victims. They shoot on scrutinize and play like a flash and loose with biological weapons. “Resurrection” is a violent, terrifying yarn whose impact is only slightly dulled by the two dozen badly-acted death scenes of random extras. One of the extras, referred to on the commentary track only as “the Geek”, looks a lot like David Letterman. For what it’s worth.

The DVD extras fabricate this package the better of the two “DW” stories released in the US this summer. The obligatory text commentary, fleshy of site filming dates and guest actor credits, also describes in detail the evolution of the story’s script over the three years it took to procure to veil. We learn how actor Terry Molloy (the third and final “Davros”) spent hours practicing the tell, to form the character sound like Michael Wisher, the current (and best) Davros. Molloy truly is noble playing a ranting wheelchair-bound villain in a latex cloak (which, we learn, caused “lakes of sweat” to pool inside the oversized rubber chin), and would go on to play the role honest up through the extinguish of “Doctor Who” as a series.

The audio track is also a winner. Peter Davison (the Doctor) is serve for his third DVD and is, as always, hilarious. Janet Fielding (Tegan, who makes her emotional departure at the kill of “Resurrection”) puts in her first DVD performance. She’s done her homework, giving a lot of convincing detail, and smooth finds time to count the many furtive glances that co-star Designate Strickson (Turlough) shot to the camera as he strived to obtain more face time. Yarn director Matthew Robinson seems to remember the setup for every camera angle and every shot in the record, and lets us know it. Aloof, it’s the level of detail and humor that puts this in the “above average” range of DW audio commentaries, after a rather tiring, modern hasten by actors and directors with distressingly porous memories.

Another profitable extra is the lengthy “on residence” segment, which returns to the narrow, dank Thames waterfront alleys where the account was filmed. It’s all gone upscale now. Robinson re-enacts archaic scenes by lurking in alcoves that have since become pastry shop windows. Also interspersed here is an interview with producer John Nathan-Turner, evidently the last interview he gave before his death last year. Also in the “deleted scenes” is the alternative cliffhanger to Portion Two… which was actually the cliffhanger traditional when I first saw this fable in the US in 1984. I like this “alternate” version better than the “official” one, as it ends a couple of menacing beats later.

The ultimate goal, I reflect, is to bag as remarkable of Davison’s Season 21 output on DVD as possible. We have two of his six stories out now, and that’s unbiased not enough.
