Full review

I awoke this morning to the rough copy of Doctor Who Series 2 Volume 2 on DVD. And this is a very special disc that might well bring a tear to the eye.

Background

At over 800 years old The Doctor is possibly one of the oldest time travellers. He has been played by 10 different actors since the show began in 1963 (if you don't include the Peter Cushing movies), after a long break the good Doctor returned to British television; no sooner has he scooped up Rose Tyler from her drab and dreary life then he has had to face the evil Daleks and regenerate. Now expertly played by David Tennant the Doctor embarks on some of his most challenging adventures yet.

CONTENTS


Story 2: Tooth & Claw

The Doctor and Rose arrive in Scotland 1879; no sooner have they landed than they are bought before Queen Victoria believes that The Doctor has been sent to protect her.

A few miles ahead of them a group of Monks whom have lost their religion have arrived on the Torchwood estate; bringing with them something special in a cage. They take over the house and hold captive all the staff while they await the arrival of Queen Victoria.

When The Doctor, Rose and her Royal Highness set foot on the Torchwood estate they are confronted with one of their greatest challenges yet; a vicious Werewolf who has aspirations to be king.

Overview

Having seen this episode a week prior I skipped over it today; Tooth & Claw was a cleverly thought out story with a phenomenal cast. Pauline Collins returned to Doctor Who for the first time in 40 years; last time she was due to become an assistant of the Doctor but pulled out at the last minute. This time she pulls off an excellent performance as a rather "un-amused" Queen Victoria. Derek Riddell stars as Sir Robert the owner of the Torchwood Estate possibly best known as the slimey Jamie on Channel 4's No Angels he puts in a fantastic performance as a traitor turned hero. And with Ron Donachie from The Bill playing an honourable house Steward you have in television realms a stellar cast.

While the special effects stand out as being the best in either new series; as I have found with many of the new Doctor Who stories, they are a bit hollow. I feel for many of the stories something is missing. The build up to this story has been almost a year in the making; so its sad that it was not more bold.

Story 3: School Reunion

Meddlesome Mickey; the boyfriend of Rose Tyler has been doing some research of his own and has discovered something strange going on at a school. Horror of horrors the school children at this school are doing something most peculiar….. They are working! The Doctor and Rose head undercover to investigate this strange phenomenon. While the Doctor has life easy, Rose as per usual ends up in the tough job that of a school dinner lady.

But the Doctor and Rose are not the only one with suspicions; roving reporter Sarah Jane Smith is on the case. But neither she nor the Doctor bargained for this meeting; for Sarah Jane travelled in the Tardis for nearly 5 years 30 years previously.

Overview

By far the best story for me from both series so far; and for Doctor Who fans the ultimate wet dream. It cannot go unmentioned that three members of cast give a real zing to this story firstly Buffy star Anthony Head, who was originally being considered for the role of the Doctor himself; here Head stars as the sinister Mr Finch in by far his most scary role to date "You'll Burn Dog" he screams at one point. The dog in question is none other than the Doctors pet robot dog K9 from the late 70's era of Doctor Who; K9 voiced again by John Leeson as he was during the 70's turns up with another in toe. For older Doctor Who fans the return of Sarah Jane Smith will put a exciting shiver down their spine; in the 70's Sarah Jane was seen as the ultimate assistant. And 30 years after her first appearance in the show fans voted her the best companion. It seemed only fair to the producers of the show to bring her back.

The story is fantastic, it's 45 minute slot is far too short and its over in a blink of an eye. The special effects guys were on the ball again for this story, making some truly devilish winged creatures. The music picked for the episode is lovely; it gives a hint of things past in the tones of it obviously to signify the return of two much loved favourites.

BE WARNED…….. If you shed a tear to the plight of the poor lonely Dalek in the new seasons story Dalek, or wept when Rose's dad had to sacrifice his life in order to save the world in Fathers Day, or gave a brief tear as Christopher Ecclestone left his Doctor behind for his Successor David Tennant; then prepare a big box of tissues for this story because underneath the menace at the school is a tale of long unfulfilled love; and for one character possibly the end.


Story 4: The Girl In The Fireplace

Madame Du Pompadour has been having dreams for years; in these dreams a sinister man known as the Doctor has saved her from great peril.

Several thousand years in the future a sinister space vessel hovers across the Earth, watching and waiting.

Back in Versailles sinister looking robots attack; with one target Madame Du Pompadour.

Can the Doctor save her from these clockwork terrors? And what purpose do these aliens have for her?


Overview

After my disappointment with Tooth & Claw; Doctor Who hits a historical story with a real blast. Personally I find the stories written by Russell T. Davis to be a bit disappointing so my mood increased as soon as I saw this episode was written by Steven Moffat. And how he tackles this story is unbelievable; the story is perfectly structured and sculpted from the off set. And the production values exude the words "Big Budget", from the casting to the sets and costumes this is a lavish production with real passion.

The principal role in this mini epic goes to David Tennant's real life significant other Sophia Miles who is currently setting the box office alight with her role as Isolde in the movie Tristan & Isolde. And what a fantastic performance she pulls out; if it were not Doctor Who this performance would be worthy of an Oscar.

The robot creatures in this story are impressively scary; I can envisage lots of terrified kids watching this from behind cushions. A really nice touch as that these creatures are as menacing as the Cybermen in there heyday; so you have to ask what the Cybermen will be like when they make there first appearance for 18 years in the story that will follow this on Volume 3.

BE WARNED…… Eyes and ear's need to be firmly open for this story; as a menacing clue to the future is clearly exposed in this story, but its so subtle it could be missed. Whatever the case this subtle revelation will fill message boards on the internet for weeks.

This DVD as with all other Doctor Who: New Series discs comes without any special features; this is to get a double play sale when the special edition box set comes out in November.

Doctor Who: Series 2 Volume 2 is available from Play.com for £10.99 from the 5th June.

In fact, this is technically true of the character, as the Doctor is the same person with regeneration giving him a different outlook.

Davies culminates in probably one of the best sci-fi TV series to grace our screens. It is well worth buying as it is not until you re-watch several times until you get all the subtle references and jokes included.
