The
Season 15 Collection bluray box is about to drop and, cards on the table, you’ll never
convince me that the Graham Williams years are bad and that may be because I
was the right age for them and therefore always will be. At that point I may have abandoned the series
altogether where it not for the fact that it became witter, sillier and more willing
to take chances. Honestly all this stuff about production values – we didn’t
notice on our over richly coloured analogue TVs watching just the once. Plus,
the appeal of Doctor Who then- at least for me- was not the special
effects but the stories and the dialogue. I still maintain I learned more
interesting words watching the show in this period than I learned concurrently
at school.
All
but one of the stories in this season have already been reviewed on this blog
in 2017/18 - see links at the foot of this post. Due to personal reasons I wasn’t able to do `The
Sunmakers` so I have done so below. A look at the extras in the box set to follow on the main blog shortly.
