2.0 out of 5 stars Poor lack-luster offering, January 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Doctor Who - The Pertwee Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jon Pertwee was easily the most 'beleivable'
Doctor, and as such, is my favorite. So I
was really disappointed by this 'effort' from
the bbc. Most of this tape consists of whole
episodes taken from three of Pertwee's best - there
is little from the Man himself, unfortunately, and
one can't help feeling it was a waste of time when
all is said and done.
No interviews, and very little in terms of 'best
memories' from Jon. Perhaps it was Mt. Pertwee
himself who wasn't in a mind to go all out for this,
I don't know, but I can only recommend this to the
diehard Pertwee fan. There is an alternative take
on the theme which is interesting (and kinda scarey,
and a few minutes of Pertwee showing off the Whomobile).
Pertwee deserved a better tribute than this....

I enjoyed this video. The only drawback that I saw to it was that it featured mostly bits and pieces of episodes. I would have liked to have seen more behind the scenes and interviews with the casts (Jon Pertwee...Katy Manning...Elisabeth Sladen...Nicholas Courtney...)

3.0 out of 5 stars fan fodder plus., July 15, 1999

This review is from: Doctor Who - The Pertwee Years [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This 1992 release contains, among other things, interesting unused title sequences and three episodes that exemplify the Pertwee era nicely. Episode 6 of the magnificent "Frontier in Space" is likely the best of those, although episode 7 of the overrated "Inferno" is more popular. I have a few quibbles, though. One, no color print of "The Ambassadors of Death" episode 1? Also, the other episode contained herein, "The Daemons" episode 5, is the B/W print, even though it had been recolorized in 1989. Mainly for diehard Pertwee fans; for the curious, try "Doctor Who and the Silurians." Or "The Daemons." Or "Spearhead from Space." Or...
