Cast Your Eye Over This...
Xstal14 July 2022
Some interesting curiosities, revealed in a selection of fine stories, that tell us how it all unfolds, the wrinkles, niggles, all retold... and it still all comes down to the fantastic Julian Glover.

Why give this to a Doctor Who fan ?
Tractator2919 December 2008
This is not bad, do not get me wrong. Stradling gets to grips with the subject relatively well but in a rather pedestrian way however my overall gripe with this documentary is that it is not just about City of Death which is a pretty run of the mill Doctor Who story but is also about the late great Douglas Adams. Now surely a Doctor Who fan would have a natural bias to his Doctor Who work, okay this is a Doctor Who DVD after all, but come on Restoration Team and show the man some respect. Douglas Adams was far more than just another employee on Doctor Who. He was a legend and deserved far more from the DVD production process than this.

The other issue I have is one of accessibility. Stradling deconstructs the subject matter but never in a way to welcome outsiders in. It is all very very much tailored to the long term Doctor Who fan and as such is rather exclusive.

However those are minor gripes, I found it quite adequate and quite enjoyable.
