5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, February 7, 2000

This review is from: Doctor Who - The Brain of Morbius (Collector's Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is probably still my favourite story out of Tom Baker's era as the Doctor. With the newly added scenes and the divisions between episodes it's infinitely better than it's original release and makes most of the story alot clearer. Despite Morbius's rather silly costume (when it comes to Doctor Who, I tend to overlook these things) I think that the story is brilliant. And Sarah Jane is just so cute in this episode. The line after Sarah loses her vision and contemplates a life of being a blind girl selling flowers at the side of the road will absolutely break your heart. This story is a must have for all Doctor Who fans out there.

This review is from: Doctor Who - The Brain of Morbius (Collector's Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What a treat! I already had "Brain of Morbius" the non-collers version released in 1984 and thought this Collectors Ed was just it topped with a silly naration like I heard on the Sci-fi channel. How wrong I was, all these years! This Collector's Edition is the full uncut version of the story and it is much better when you get the whole picture. The other version is a joke and should never have been released! Their are scenes in this that were cut from the other that really put things in to perspective and the whole story made more sense. I highly recommend to all DW fans and anyone who wants a sci-fi twist on the gothic Frankenstien horror and witchcraft. Phillip Maddock is also in it.

This review is from: Doctor Who - The Brain of Morbius (Collector's Edition) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A Frankenstein rewrite in which a mad professor schemes to find a good home for a renegade Time Lord's brain; enter the Doctor, with his head. Tom Baker has a half-dozen great lines without upsetting the balance of horror and humor, and Philip Madoc (who also appears in "The War Games" as the War Lord) is magnificent as Professor Solon. Also, the set design is good, Sarah's pretty effective, and the Sisterhood of Karn are fairly intriguing. Warning: get the so-called Collector's Edition only, as the original version omits over a half hour.
