Advantages: Nice light comedy Disadvantages: The story and most of the film in general
Simon Sparrow is now a qualified doctor and working as an apprentice in a practice in London. He finds that not only is he doing all the work while his boss heads off to play golf but his bosses daughter is dead set on getting her hands on him.
Deciding his only recourse it to run away he does the time honoured thing of escaping to sea. He manages to get a job on board a merchant navy ship... with no women on board!
A trip to a port is something all the crew look forward to but on their first stop on this trip they pick up a couple of passengers, the Chairmans' daughter and her friend, a beautiful young singer. How will the arrival of two women affect all the lonely men on board?
Doctor At Sea (1955) was the second of the seven Doctor films made throughout the 50's and 60's and is, like the first in the series, very typical of British ...
Advantages: A new Doctor Disadvantages: Lack of action with the Tardis
the area has been pedestrian-ised over, whilst in the story this has two way traffic going down the main thoroughfare.
Extras wise the DVD has a number of documentaries, a UNIT recruitment film and commentary from the cast. Trailers from the time of broadcast are also on the disc, these are quite nostalgic to watch as the BBC idents and voiceovers make this look extremely dated, especially when you realise that this was premier Saturday night entertainment.

No longer the preserve of geeks and fanboys, it became primetime family entertainment in ways it hadn't been since the 1970s, and Christopher Eccleston was an impressive, if sadly short-lived, Doctor. Chris gives The Doctor funnyer side with his sarcastic coments. Billie piper (An embarrasment to pop music who sang the hidious "because we want to") is impressive in these few episodes putting her dramatic acting skills to use. The prosthetics in the entertaining two parter is the only fault i can find. The slitheen look like there from the 60's Doctor who! Apart from that its a brilliant buy. ...
