Doctor Who: The Five Doctors Review

Multi Doctor stories are a very rare thing as alot of the time they are saved for the big anniversary episodes of the show with there being one exception to this rule. With the shows most ambitious special at the very least when it comes to the amount of returning characters being the very episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the episode that really should have been called The Four Doctors with the episode in question being called simply just "The Five Doctors" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when someone starts taking all pf the previous Doctors out of there own timeline and placing them on Gallifrey it's to the Fifth Doctor to team up with his previous selfs and work out what is actually going on before its far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this episodes plot being epic enough to justify it being the plot for a special episode of the show let alone one that celebrates twenty years of the shows history. With it being helped by the fact that this episode was written by Terrence Dicks who wrote many Doctor Who episodes in the past alot of which are very well regarded with this episode being one of them. As the plot of this episode does feel like a timeless plot as it is one that could have been made during any era of the show and it would still work and while yes there are some faults with the plot like the fact that the Fifth Doctor does get lost in the shuffle despite him being the then current Doctor but on the whole given the fact that the show was being treated that greatly by the BBC at the time no one would have expected this episodes plot to be as good as it ended being and while yes there are certain aspects of the episodes plot that could have been done better like the big reveal of who the villain actually is the plot on the whole was one that was handled really well with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Peter Davison as The Doctor , Jon Pertwee as The Doctor and Patrick Troughton as The Doctor. Also starring in this episode is Richard Hurndall as The Doctor , Janet Fielding as Tegan Jovanka , Mark Strickson as Vislor Turlough , Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith , Carole Ann Ford as Susan Foreman , Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart , Anthony Ainley as The Master , Philip Latham as Lord President Borusa , Dinah Sheridan as Chancellor Flavia , Paul Jerricho as The Castellan , David Banks as The Cyber Leader , Mark Hardy as A Cyber Lieutenant , Richard Mathews as Rassilon , Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon , Wendy Padbury as Zoe Heriot , Caroline John as Liz Shaw , Richard Franklin as Captain Mike Yates , David Savile as Colonel Crichton , John Leeson as The voice of K9 and Roy Skelton as The voice of the Dalek.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that this episode does have some good acting in it is something that is to be expected from this show as all you have to do is look at who us starring in this episode and you know right away that your going to be getting alot of really good acting in it as alot of this episodes are some really good actors in there won right. With the best actors in this episode oddly enough not being one of the actors playing The Doctor nor is it any of the actors playing the companions rather its Anthony Ainley as The Master as while Jon Pertwee does with ease slip back into his role and Richard Hurndall does a good enough job of mimicking what William Hartnell did as the character Anthony is clearly having the time of life in this episode with him and Peter Davidson just eating up all of the scenery in all of the scenes that they are in with it being helped by the fact that Anthony does have some really good chemistry with alot of the actors in this episode with the only thing that does let his acting down being the fact that he does play the role of The Master a bit to much like a Pantomime villain when he should been playing alot more seriously as this is something that would have helped with the more urgent nature of the episodes plot but at the same time it was still fun seeing him clearly having a blast in making this episode with that kind of infectious energy being something that really does shine through in his performance in this episode. With the acting in this episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

In a move that is to be expected we do get alot of returning both interms of the shows hero characters and as well as some of the shows more well known villains. With The Yeti , Cybermen and of course The Daleks all making an appearance in this episode and while none of them get alot to do in the episode it is nice to see this episode tip its hat to to the foes that helped to make the show scary for little kids and out of those three characters its oddly enough the Cybermen and not the Daleks that get the biggest role in the episode as you would expect the Daleks to get more of the limelight given the fact that they are perhaps the most well known creature in Doctor Who but they just get the one scene in the whole episode and that's that whereas the Cybermen have an entire subplot with them trying to take over Gallifrey and destroy The Doctors TARDIS. It is weird that the makers of this episode would give the Cybermen the bigger roles to play in the episode as while they are just as well known as the Daleks it is the Daleks that did help to put this show on the map and therefor it would have been understandable if the makers of this episode did give them the bigger role of the episode and heck they could have had the Daleks and Cybermen switch roles and nothing would be altered about the plot of the episode with the only thing that the episode would need to explain being how they managed to climb up the rockface to take on the robot which even then you could very easily just revert that to the Cybermen, while it was great to see alot of the more well known monsters that the show has had it would have been nice to see alot of the more goofier monsters as well just to show that even tho the show did make alot of really good scary monsters there were also a few misfires like for example The Zarbi or The Macra for example both of which are things that could have been given the fact that the episode did have a bigger budget then the usual series of the show got. 

Just to be clear this review is being based on the version that is up on BBC IPlayer with this being mentioned because of the fact that they did make a few changes to the cut that was on the original DVD version of the episode. As in the original DVD version the Time Scoop went from looking like a triangle to an upside down twister that actually moved and the image that they use to represent Tom Baker is just from a random serial with both of these things being changed to now just having the original triangle back with the difference not being that we see a picture of whom ever it has captured and the image of Tom Baker now also featuring Lalla Ward which was taken oddly enough from Shada. This is something that does make sense as Shada was a mostly unfinished serial and therefor when Tom decided not to come back they could use some of that footage to explain why he and Romana weren't in the episode but here it does feel out of place as it does remind you that you could be watching that series and while yes the makers of this episode had there hands tied and did try to do the best that they could have done in that situation which is fair enough but whoever was in charge of the effects for this episode could have done alot more better job as the the effects used in the original DVD version where alot more better with it feeling like that the makers of that DVD did go out of there way to make the effects look better and make changes that worked for the serial. However that's not the only change made as for some odd reason the only piece of William Hartnell footage at the start of the episode has gone from being black and white to having this weird orange tinge over it which just looks at of place and while it doesn't detract from the episode in the slightest it is something that does stand out and was something that the BBC really didn't need to do as they already have the source material for that scene in there archives.

For some odd reason this episode does have alot of The Doctors and there respective companions not meet up until near the end of the episode. This is something that does feel weird as the whole point of these multi doctor stories is to see the various incarnations of The Doctor interacting with each other and yet it is something that the makers of this episode do hold off on showing us and while this is something that does make sense plot wise as the episode does explain that the Fifth Doctor was unable to send out a call that would alert all of the previous incarnations of where he is and we do see all of the other versions get scooped up and placed somewhere near a friend of theirs or in the case with the Second Doctor get scooped with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart therefor they would of course be unable to meet up with the Fifth Doctor, however if the First Doctor and Susan were able to do so just by luck then surely the rest of them should have been able to do so as well as then we could have had some banter between not only the Second and Third doctors but also the rest of them as well which is something that would have been quite fun to see yet for one reason or another the makers of this episode seemed bent on not giving us that as even when the First , Second and Third Doctors all meet up then then current Doctor gets put under a mind control with this whole episode leaving him feeling more like an afterthought when it should have been him that played a vital part in saving the day but on the flip side of that is the fact that having him be the one to get mind controlled is a great way to add tension to the episode as it does say to us the audience that if it could happen to him then it could happen to any of them and the episode doesn't really linger on it that much and even when the Fifth Doctor is away from the group he is still very much active in the main plot of the episode as he does find out who the true villain of the episode is.

Rather shockingly this episode does have a really creepy ending to it as when it is revealed that the main villain of this episode is Lord President Borusa with him getting The Doctors and there companions to play the deadly game of rassilon for him so that he can claim its prize of immortality. However Rassilon does flip this on his head as while he does make him immortal it's not in the way that he wanted as he turns him into a statue that appears on the side of Rassilons own tomb with this being something that the First Doctor had worked out and even told Rassilon that he does believe that Lord President Borusa should be made immortal as a way to defeat Borusa for good. This is something that is quite creepy as we do get to see the three faces of the other people that have tried to make this claim before now on the side of his tomb and while Doctor Who has never and will never shy away from showing us scary images it is still something that is creepy to look at as all of the faces are human with us being able to see there eyes moving with the whole thing being such a creative and creepy image, with it even being a tragic end for Borusa as did technically get his wish of wanting immortality it's just that no one will ever get to see him again and heck this is an images that does make you wonder why the makers of this episode didn't try to include more creepy visuals like this one in the show as it is something that the show is known for doing with the whole thing being more then creepy enough that it will get people diving head first behind the sofa as it were. Yet this type of scare is something that could only have worked with a master writer like Terence Dicks as with any one else it would have just fell flat on it's face but with him doing it both the scare and the mystery as whom the main villain even is work really well as he does have a clear love of all things science fiction.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and twenty three seconds. With this episode being a feature length special episode of the show and was for the longest time the only episode of this show to have that kind of running time until the 1996 Doctor Who: The Movie as while there have been other serials that have reached that running time those were exactly that serials this one is just the one episode and by god it really did need that running time as it does have so many characters to both reintroduce and introduce and still have to tell a good story and it wouldn't be able to do any of those things in a shorter running time or even if it did go back to the serial format of the show as something would eventually get lost in the shuffle with the episode having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time. Yet even with this in mind the episode still doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot as the episode does have perhaps a bit to much to do interms of reintroduce the previous versions of The Doctor which is understandable as he is the main character of the show but then the episode does waste alot of time in also reintroducing alot of the companions as well and that's before they even get the plot of the episode properly started with it feelin like that this episode would have been alot more better of if the episode was a little bit longer as while the episode does try to add in things that are key to plot like both the Third and Fifth Doctors turning down The Masters help that idea can't be fully developed as the episode is alot more focused on showing us how each of The Doctors and most of the companions got captured in the first place. This is something that does kind of effect the episodes characters development as while alot of the episodes characters don't really need character development as alot of them either will get or already did get there development in other episodes of the show it still would have been nice to show characters like the Time Lords getting some character development or even one of the versions of The Doctor getting some character development but the episode does seem more focused on showing us The Doctor turning down The Masters help twice in a row that it does leave very little time for the characters to get any kind of character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.  

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in his very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / resented t us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. While classic Doctor Who never really had the time or money to give us alot of really exciting like the more modern episodes of the show do we did still get some really good action and while the action in this episode is still pretty good it does oddly feel like that the makers of this episode are either being held back for whatever reason or are holding themselves back as alot of the time this episodes action just isn't as exciting as it should have been. With the best action scene in the whole episode being when Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart sneaks up on The Master who is holding the four Doctors hostage at gun point and just flat out punches him knocking him out cold and whole that might not seem like much it is something that does make The Brigadier look like a total bada*s as nine times out of ten it was always either The Doctor defeating the foe or The Doctor tricking the foe into defeating themselves it was never really The Brigadier doing it and therefor to see him be the one the knocks out The Maser does remind us that this person is an action man essentially and while it of course would have been nice to see any one of the The Doctors be the ones to knock him having it be The Brigadier is one that does oddly make alot of sense for his character with some of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this is a really good special that did honor Doctor Who's then twenty year legacy with there technically being a Doctor from every decade at that point in time and while The Day Of The Doctor is the better made special this one does have its own charms to it that do work really well for the episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I person ally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Tardis . Wiki. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Tardis . Wiki really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Tardis . Wiki really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Spider-Noir TV Series SPOILER FILLED Review

Even tho the character of Spider-Man has been in alot of live action films he's really been in two live action TV shows both of which were in the seventies. Well now we have another new show to add to that list with this show actually doing two things different the first of which being the fact that you can watch the show in both color and black and white and the second of which being the fact that it is the live action Spider-Man project not to feature Peter Parker and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the show that might be based watched in black and white with the show in question being called simply just "Spider-Noir" enjoy.

The plot of this show is five years after the death of his fiancée is killed at the hands of a criminal retired superhero and private investigator Ben Reilly finds himself dragged back into the hero game when he agrees to take on a case that involves a supposed cheating wife. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well hen in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. The shows plot was quite frankly alot more better then what it really had any right to be as by all rights this shows plot should have been a very generic and a very by the books superhero show with a noir twist put on it and that's really it and while there are hints of that being the case. The shows plot does add in enough things to keep you invested that when it does drop certain plot lines for reason you don't really feel it with the fact that it does drop certain plot lines being something that does hold the plot of the show as for no reason the show will start another plot and then drop it a few episodes later only to then pick it up again with this being something that does make it hard to tell just what the main plot of the show was meant to be when it would have been all the more better if the show just picked one plot line for it's main plot and just ran with it and not not just randomly start a new plot line every few episodes as that is something that will confuse the audience watching this show with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is one of this shows executive producers Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly / The Spider and Lamorne Morris as Joe "Robbie" Robertson. Also starring in this show show is Li Jun Li as Felicia "Cat" Hardy , Karen Rodriguez as Janet Ruiz , Abraham Popoola as Lonnie Lincoln / Tombstone , Jack Huston as Flint Marko / Sandman , Andrew Lewis Caldwell as Dirk Leyden / Megawatt , Amanda Schull as Ruby J. Williams , Lukas Haas as Winston , Cary Christopher as Frankie , Michael Kostroff as Alfred Morris and Brendan Gleeson as Finbar "Finn" Byrne / Silvermane.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well hen in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. To be frank the fact that this shows acting was as good as it is is something that is still quite surprising as while yes the show does have some really good actors in it alot of this shows actors aren't that well known and yet they do turn in some really good performances in this show and while they don't out act the likes of Nicolas Cage or Brendan Gleeson for that matter they do tun in some really good performances in there own right. With the best actor in the whole entire show being Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly / The Spider as he does carry the whole show with him giving us a really powerful performance as the character ss while the show does add in moments of humor with Ben Nicolas does pull them really well and when the show does have a dramatic moment he does really turn it up and while he doesn't have you in floods of tears during those moments you do feel the characters pain with both him and Brendan Gleeson clearly having a blast acting in scenes together and to be fair watching the two of them do a scene together is alot of fun to watch as we are watching two really good actor just knock it out of the park with there acting with Nicolas not really being afraid to go to those more wacky places with his character with this being something that does shine through in his final performance. With the acting that's in this very show really being helped by the fact that this shows scripts are all just so good that all this shows actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show. 

Doing the CGI for this show is Alchemy 24 and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Industrial Light & Magic. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well hen in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. The thing that does make this shows CGI be so good in the first place is the fact that it does blend it really well with the show with the shows live action elements with the show really only using CGI in scenes where it would be impossible to do them for real. Like for example extending the shows sets to make them look bigger or by having The Spider swinging threw New York all of these things are things that would have been hard to do for real and therefor the only way to do them would be to do them in CGI. This isn't to say that the shows CGI is great all of the time tho as there are scene in the show where the CGI does look a little bit two much like a cartoon like whenever Megawatt uses his powers as while alot of the time the effects on them do look good there are times where it does look a little bit two fake with the thing even being true for the scenes where we can see Ben in the passenger seat of a car with the car moving as the projection for alot of those scenes does look a little bit of and while it is clear that the makers of this show wouldn't give the effects team alot of time to finish those scenes as alot of them are nothing scenes  it does lower the overall quality of the shows effects. With things like Megawatts powers being something that should have had more time given to them given the fact that he is a minor character in the show however when the show does have some good effects like Ben swinging threw New York it is something that does look really good with it being something that does show that the makers of this show did know when to use CGI and when to do things for real.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like with alot of noir films and TV shows this one does have a femme fatal character which in this case is Cat herself. With the character being someone who is madly in love with Flint Marko so much so that she'll do anything to see him cured of his powers and yet the second that she believes him dead she gets Ben to fall in love with her this is something that is an interesting part of the show due to the fact that she and Ben were planning on running away together and yet because of the fact that she loves Flint alot more then she does Ben she turns him into a doctor that wants to use him for own ends thus leaving Ben broken hearted. The theme of love and what it can do to you is something that we see all throughout the show as we get told by Ben himself that the biggest mistake he made prior to episode 1 was falling in love with him struggling to cope with the death of Ruby so much so that he gave up being The Spider as he believed that her death was his fault and yet when we see him fall in love again this time with Cat he is not only all the more wiser but is also willing to take a chance which does make it all the more upsetting when she does betray him. When it comes to Cat it's clear that she is the type of character that has never not had a boyfriend and therefore sh does struggle with knowing what to do when she believes that she doesn't have one anymore and even tho Flint has barely been missing for a few days by the time she starts to flirt with Ben the two of them do still form this connection with each other where they are both able to tell the other things that they might not have done otherwise. The show does go to great length to show us both the up and the down sides of being madly in love with with someone as the show do0es show us Ben being really happy when he thinks that he's found true love with Cat and yet the second that she turns on him he realises that she's played him like a fiddle and the first thing that he does is get drunk and be the same depressed person that he was at the start of the show.

In what is a rather cool move there are actually two ways that you can watch this show the first of which is in color and the second is in black and white. Watching the show in color is alot more easier for more modern audiences to do as it is something that they are more used to do however given the fact that this is noir show and alot of those classic noir films were all done in black and white this is show does seem like it would be a much more better watch in that format as it would be more true to the classic noir genre as then you could have all of these harsh shadows hitting the characters and you could have characters walking out of the shadows alot more often and this is something that you just can't do in color. Due to the fact that we can see everything clear as day and while the characters do still have those harsh shadows hitting them alot of the time it feels like it's lacking something when its done in color but on the plus side tho it is understandable why the makers of this show did give us the audience a choice between the two formats as there will be people who will find watching the show in color alot more easier then watching it in black and white just due to the fact that they are more used to watching films and TV shows in that way and that's fair enough, much like there will be people who will want to watch this show in black and white as they'll want to get the proper noir expirence and that is something that you can't fully replicate when watching the show in color as alot of the noir films were never made to be seen in color even the word noir means black in French but the fact that they went out of there way to produce to different versions of an episode is something is to be commended as its something that alot of studios just won't do and will instead jus force us to watch the one version of something even tho watching it a different way might be the better option.

Silvermane might be the best villain that the makers of this show could have used for this season of the show. As the character isn't that well known and therefor they do have alot more room to do whatever they want with his character and to be fair he does seem like the type of character that you would want to meet in like the first film of a new series as while he yes he is threatening and he is cunning he's also someone that our hero could very easily beat in a fight if he wanted to do with it being made clear that this take on the character was done as a way for Sony to say that they had there own version of The Penguin as the two characters are very similar to each other with them even both being played by an Irish person. Yet Silvermane doesn't really have an endgame as he spends a good portion of the first half of the season trying to work out who burnt down his house and tried to kill him and spending a few episodes of the rest of the season trying and failing to get an army of superpowered people to help him take over New York this is something that does make it hard to get a good read on who he is as a character as his motivations seem to be shifting from episode to episode when giving him one clear goal in mind be it to built up his superpowered army or to find out who tried to kill him would have been more then enough to make him a truly threatening character and heck out of the two motivations its him trying to work who killed him that brings out his more evil side as there we do get to see him kill people in cold blood. This is something that we don't get to see with the rest of his evil plan and it is something that could have made his character be all the more unlikable as he does spend alot of time talking to the mayor of New York saying things like how he could have him replaced and yet when push does do come to shove we don't see him kill him and heck its not even Ben that kills him its Cat which yes does make sense for her character but for the main villain you do want him to get killed off by the main hero of the show.

Now then this show has / had an exact grand total running time of no longer then forty nine minuets with episode six having the shortest running time of forty six minuets and thirty five seconds and episode episode five having the longest running time of forty nine minuets and twenty five seconds. These are pretty solid running times for this show to have but what does let the show done is the fact that there are two few episodes in this first season as you very easily could have gotten a good ten episodes out of this first season alone which would have the advantage of letting the plot of the show breathe a little bit more and it would allow for the show to pick just the one main plot line and not just pick up and drop it's main plot line whenever it chooses to do so with the show having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of plot in the first place. Yet even with the show having eight episodes it still doesn't use its running time all that wisely as the show doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot with the show being alot more focused on giving different plot lines then it i in giving us a more focused and well developed plot something which it would have been alot more able to do if the season was just a few episodes longer as then the show would have that time to explore these multiple plots whilst having the one overarching plot line. This is something that does effect the shows character development as well as understandably the only character that does get some sort of character development inn Ben as he does go from someone who is running away from his past to someone who does fully embrace it by becoming The Spider once again and while it is understandable why he does get alot of the shows character development as he is the shows main character we don't see characters like Cat , Janet or Robbie get any kind of character development with us knowing just as much about them coming out of the show then we did coming into the show but I really will admit that this show really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty pretty good. The fact that this show does have alot of good action in it isn't something that's all that surprising due to the fact that the makers of this show also made the highly entertaining Spider-Verse films and therefor they do know how to craft some really good action something which does come into use alot of the time in this show with us getting at the very least one action scene per-episode in this show. With the best action scene in the whole entire show being the fight scene in episode seven "Nobody's Hero" as we do get this really cool bar room fight scene where a drunk Ben dressed in his The Spider mask decides to take on a bunch of people that where making fun of him for not being as good they remember him being with the whole fight scene being done in one continuous shot which is always something that will be really impressive to see as if one person mistimes something that they have to start the whole thing over again from scratch and yet it is something that they do pull off really well in this episode with the scene itself having moments of comedy with the people getting moaning in pain alot of the time with it being that great mixture of comedy and action being something that two of the shows other executive producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller do really well and it is something that is used to great effect in this scene with the scene itself being just as hard hitting as it is funny to watch with the rest of the shows action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall we are starting the summer months of good with this show and here's hoping that we really can end next month just as good as we've ended this month. As Spider-Man: Brand New Day does have alot to live up to now as this show has proven that you don't need Peter Parker playing Spider-Man for it to be good as all you need is a good script and good acting and both of those are things that this show really has in spades in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Looney Tunes "Devil May Hare" Review

The Looney Tunes characters are some of the most well known characters in the world of animation yet this is something that you really wouldn't know given just how badly they've been treated by there own creators in recent years. Yet this wasn't always the case as there was a time where anything a new Looney Tunes cartoon meant that we were going to be seeing somethin good and that is very much the case with the cartoon that i'm going to be revieing for you all today and so then join me as I review the review the cartoon that introduces us to Taz with the cartoon in question being called simply just "Devil May Hare" enjoy.

The plot of this cartoon is when a hungry Taz escapes and goes looking to eat quite literally anything for lunch its up to ne scared and easily frightened rabbit to put a stop to him before he to becomes lunch. Now then interms of what I personally thought / about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. The plot to this cartoon is one that is quite simple and to be fair that's all it needed to be as alot of the Looney Tunes shorts did have very simple plots to them with alot of them this one included just essentially having a premise and nothing more then that. This is something that does allow for the makers of this cartoon to pack in the cartoon with alot more jokes and not have to spend so little time in explaining the joke which is something that they would have to do if the plot was alot more deep and complex and to it's credit this is where the episode does shine its best with the plot of the cartoon being delightfully simple as we don't need to know why Taz is going after Bugs we just need to know that he's hungry and will and in this case does eat anything that comes before him and that's and that it is great for a cartoon like this one, this isn't to say that all cartoons should have simple plots as something like Mickey Mouse cartoon can get away with having more complex plots but for a Looney Tunes cartoon you do want a plot that is more simple and easy to follow and that's exactly what he plot of this cartoon is in all of the best ways possible with the plot of this cartoon also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Starring in this cartoon is Mel Blanc with him providing the voices for all of the cartoons characters something which he did pretty much all of the time. With it being next to impossible to tell that characters like Bugs and Taz for example are being voiced by the same actor as he does go to great lengths into giving these characters distinct enough voices that you can tell just who is talking when you close your eyes and just listen to the cartoon this is of course helped by the fact that Bugs does have one of if not the most famous cartoon voice but even with Taz when we are so used to hearing the character speaking what is essentially gibberish and yet here not only does speak full English but he's also got a more intelligent sounding voice to him as well. Of course the characters voice would change over the years before finally ending up with the more familiar sounding voice for the character but it is interesting to see not only where the characters voice would start but also what the evolution of his voice was like as we know that Bugs's voice in his official cartoon is alot more different then what it is now with him originally sounding like a just as daffy Daffy Duck before slowly morphing into his more familiar sounding voice the ore that the character was refined and the more that various other directors worked on him and it does appear to be the same case with Taz and yet even in this cartoon you can still can here a bit of the more traditional sounding voice for the character as there are times when he's spinning where he does speaking gibberish and yet it doesn't feel out of character for him even when he's speaking in full English and infact you could make the case that having him speak like this when he's the villain of the cartoon is perfect as it does make him sound more threatening of a character whereas with him speaking gibberish you do lose that.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. It's not rally all that surprising that the acting in this cartoon is as good as it is given the fact that we do have perhaps the best voice actor ever doing all of the voices for all of the characters in the cartoon and while yes it would have helped if we did have more actors in this cartoon just to give Mel someone to bounce off of it wasn't something that was needed as you can barely tell that both characters were played by the same man. It does go without saying but the best actor in this cartoon is of course Mel Blanc as he is just so good as both Bugs and Taz in this cartoon and while the voice or Taz would evolve over years it is nice to see there the voice the character started with Mel giving just as much to his performance as Taz as he would do to Bugs with it coming across as him having a deep level of love for all of the characters that he voices not only in general but in this cartoon as a whole as he does go to great lengths into giving all of the cartoons characters there own level of warmth with the same thing even being true for Taz and he is meant to be the villain of the piece this is something that does shine through in his performance with his performance in this cartoon even giving alot of the characters some of their personalities. With the acting that's in this very cartoon really being helped by the fact that this cartoons script is just so good that all this cartoons actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very cartoon. 

Doing the animation for this cartoon is Herman Cohen , Phil DeLara , Charles McKimson and Rod Scribner. Now then interms of what I personally thought / about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. While alot of the classic Looney Tunes cartoons do gave these highly detailed backgrounds that show off the fact that these shorts were made to be seen on the big screen this short goes the opposite way by giving us these highly minimalistic backgrounds and this is something that does work well enough in the cartoons favor. As not all of these Looney Tunes cartoons need to have these highly detailed backgrounds for them to look good does it help yes but it's not something that's needed with the thing that helps to sell you on this cartoons animation being the fact that these backgrounds not only never repeated in the cartoon but they also never got reused and yet they still look really good. Heck the animation on the whole is of a really high quality as you can tell right from the first frame that alot of blood , sweat and tears when into this cartoons animation due to the fact that we do get alot of shots that would have been really hard to pull of in 2D like the fact that we get to see Taz hanging upside down only we are seeing it from the ground up whereas today such a shot would be done in CGI back in the day tho the makers of this cartoon just had to take a chance on it working and thank god it did as that shot does look really good with all of the cartoons animation more then holding up all of these later. 

For those of you that perhaps didn't know this cartoon marks the official debut for Taz with him in this cartoon just looking for some lunch. Which in this case does involve eating Bugs Bunny and while the character would get more refined as the years went on here in this early version of the character he is still pretty much as fully formed as he is ever likely to be with the only major difference being that much like Wile E. Coyote did in either his first or one of his first cartoons Taz speaks almost in full sentences with him still maintaining his more animalistic nature where as in later years especially during The Looney Tunes Show he would be played up more as being a wild animal and would barely speak in English. This version of the character even tho it's a rough draft of a character still does work and the fact that even all of these years later there's really only been one major change to his character does show you that the makers of this cartoon really did nail him on his first attempt and the fact that the character was only brought back for more cartoons after alot of fans demanded that the character be brought back does show out that he is one of the most underrated characters in Looney Tunes history. As yeah this character was originally meant to be a one and done character but due to how the fans responded to him as a character Warner Bros had no choice but t bring him back to start in more cartoons with him being a core Looney Tunes character ever since then and to be fair it's not that hard to see why he ended up being as popular as he did as even in this cartoon he is a highly entertaining character who can at times be goofy and be looney and while that might take away from other Looney Tunes villains here it is something that does help him feel more well rounded and while he is going up against the powerhouse that is Bugs Bunny he does come out being just as fun to watch as Bugs himself is.

Whilst there are alot of really good things to be found in this cartoon there some downsides to this cartoon as well like for example the fact that the cartoons plot might be a bit to simple for it's own good as while yes it is good that it did have a simple plot there are times where it is hard to work out just what the main plot of the cartoon is due to how simple the cartoons plot is with the other thing being the fact that despite Taz being the villain of the cartoon you do still end up liking him as a character whereas if the makers of this cartoon wanted t us to truly hate this character then they should have gone as far as they could have done into making Taz be this evil character. Like for example they could have had him come close to eating Bugs a couple of times are actually show Bugs being scared of him both of these are very simple things to do but there also really effective as they get across the fact that Taz is someone that should be feared with this having the added impact of making all the times that Bugs does get his payback on Taz be all the more fun to watch as now we the audience want to see all of these things happen to him and yet as the makers of this cartoon went almost out of there way to not make him as evil as they could have done by making him be this more aloof type of character then alot of the times that Bugs does get back at him whilst they are still funny there not really earned with it feeling like that the cartoon is just going through the motions during those parts of the cartoon. However to be fair tho whilst these shorts were made more with families in mind and not just kids it does somewhat make sense that they wouldn't make Taz out to be this truly evil character as they are trying to appease the whole family but it still would have been nice to see what a fully evil Taz would have looked like as there is the potential there for him to be this really evil but still looney character.

Just to talk about Bugs for a second he is just as fun to watch in this cartoon as he is in alot of his other cartoons. This is something that does make sense as the character had been around for alot longer then Taz at that point in time and therefor the makers of this cartoon would have gotten his personality down perfectly with this being something that would have helped to make it easier to come up with stories for him and to be pairing this new character with Bugs Bunny is something that does make sense as Bugs was and still is the bigger star of the two and therefor putting him in a Bugs Bunny cartoon is guaranteed to give the cartoon alot more eyes on it just due to the fact that Bugs was in alot more cartoons. However this is something that could be seen as being a bad thing as we all know that Bugs is never going to loose at the end of the cartoon outside of a few Elmer Fudd cartoons and therefor there's not really alot of tension in the cartoon with the tension instead coming from the fact that we are now left trying to work out how Bugs will get himself out of this one now whereas if Taz was paired up with someone like Daffy or Porky who yes are still very well known characters in there own right you would then have that tension right away as both of those characters very rarely if ever "won" there cartoons and therefor we would be more tense when we see Taz chasing after either of them, yet at the same time tho Bugs and Taz do make for a good combo with it making you wonder why the makers of this cartoon didn't pair these two up more often as you could have gotten alot of laughs out of Bugs using his street smarts to outwit the hungry nature of Taz or heck when they pair Taz up with Bugs they could have given him a slightly different personality like what they did with Daffy when he teamed up with Bugs as Taz and Bugs do have the potential to be a really funny combo and they could have been exactly that if they were paired up together more often.

Now then this cartoon has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly six minuets and fifty five seconds. With this pretty much being the exact grand total running time for alot of the Looney Tunes cartoons and to be fair to this cartoon whilst it really doesn't need to be that long as you very easily could have told this cartoons plot in well under five minuets it does have to fully set up a new character and get across what he is like and still a good story and there is a good chance that the cartoon wouldn't have been able to do that if it was under five minuets with the cartoon even having the right amount of plot there to cover that amount on running time in the first place. While this cartoon doesn't really use it's running time all that wisely as the cartoon doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot this is something that really isn't a bad thing in this case as given the fact that the Looney Tunes cartoons always more gag driven then they are plot driven it dos make sense that the plot wouldn't be as well developed as that would mean taking up screen time away from the cartoons jokes and when the plot of the cartoon is as simple as it is then this cartoons plot really didn't need to be as well developed and while yes it would have been nice if the plot of this cartoon was alot more well developed it wasn't something that the makers of this cartoon needed to do as it would be the jokes that determined if this cartoon is good or not. The same thing is also true for the cartoons lack of character development with the added thing in this case being the fact that you could make the argument that Bugs has all of his other characters to get some character development and while it would have been nice if Taz did get some character development in this cartoon as there was guarantee that he would be getting more cartoons in the future it wasn't something that was needed as he is meant to be the villain of the piece but I really will admit that this cartoon really does have some really good pacing to it tho. 

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean tat I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very cartoon was in all honesty really good. This cartoon does have alot of good jokes in it all of which do feel true to who both Taz and Bugs are as characters be it from Taz cutting down mountains whilst chasing Bugs to Bugs burying Taz in the ground in an early attempt to get away from him bottom line being here is that there are alot of good jokes in this cartoon with it being made clear that the makers of this cartoon did put alot of thought and effort into this cartoons jokes. With the best joke in this cartoon being a tie between when Bugs gets Taz to swallow an inflatable raft and then pulling string this making Taz himself turn into a raft is a funny visual and when Bugs is on the phone ordering an advertisement for a female Taz to come and marry Taz only for him to get cut off by the operator when Bugs turns and talks to the audience which again is a funny joke with the thing that makes the raft Taz joke even more funny being the animation as we get to see him turn into a Taz shaped raft which was something that the makers of this cartoon didn't have to do and the thing that makes the joke about Bugs being cut of by the phone operator work as well as it does being the fact that it is a slightly clever joke as it is something that you wouldn't expect to find in a Looney Tunes cartoon and yet that is why both of these jokes work so well as there jokes that you don't see coming with them being able to work so well because of it with the rest of the cartoons jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.  

Overall this was a solid cartoon as it does show you just how good that the Looney Tunes could be when they have a good director making there cartoons and while Warner Bros might be content with destroying there own legacy this is cartoon is a good reminder of why these characters are so well beloved in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very cartoon in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very cartoon really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very revie well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Looney Tunes Wiki . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very cartoon that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very cartoon with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition and there's really only one way to end this review T-T-T-T-THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

The Wombles: Orinoco And The Big Black Umbrella

There are some shows that will always be timeless no matter what decade that they air in and where in the world they are watched as there's just something about them that will always make them feel relevant. The same thing is true for The Wombles as this little known British kids TV show about things that clean up after us is something that is still relevant to this very day and well as you all seem to like the Paddington revies so much and this show was made by the same team it only made sense that I check out the first episode of this show and so then join me as I review the episode that introduced us to a whole new race of beings with the episode in question being called simply "Orinoco And The Big Black Umbrella" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is Orinoco the laziest Womble is tasked with finding the latest edition of The Times on a particularly windy day. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The thing that makes this episodes plot be as good as it was is the fact that it is a simple story as all it is is just a creature trying to find the latest edition of a newspaper for the head of this section of The Wombles and that's it. With the fact that this episodes plot being as simple as it is is also something that does add an extra layer of charm to the episode as while yes it would have been very nice if the makers of this episode did have a more stronger plot that better showed of alot of the main characters like you would get in todays animated shows by not doing that and only really focusing on just the one character it does allow for the episode to come across as being alot more relaxing as there's no big plot and there's no characters running around trying to get alot of things done it's just this one character doing this ne thing and even then he doesn't do it on purpose, however there are advantages to having a more stronger plot as well like for example the fact that we would get to better know the shows characters and location something which we don't really get to see alot of in this episode and while that would be great for other shows for this episode taking more slow and steady approach does work as it allows the characters to be there usual charming selfs and it allows for us the audience to be oddly engrossed in the episodes plot with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Bernard Cribbins and much like alot of kids shows from around this time period he is doing all of the voices for all of the characters. However unlike alot of those same shows he does make an effort to give all of The Wombles slight differences in their voices with thus being something that does allow for us the audience to make out alot more easier just which character is speaking at any given moment. With it being helped by the fact that he is his usual charming self in this show with him giving the characters these really charming voices that do help to highlight there personalities which is something that he really didn't need to do and is something that people like Sir Ringo Starr and Sir Michael Hordern could have done for there respective shows and yet it was something that was not only done in this episode but works in this episode as well as this is a show that does demand that all of the characters do have these unique voices just due to the fat that there are alot of main characters in the show and while the same thing is also true for something like Paddington there they can get away with just having one voice for alot of the characters due to the fact that the stories are more well known whereas here the stories for The Wombles aren't as well known and therefor Bernard did have to come up with these rather distinctive sounding voices to help to give life to these characters and it is something that does work as he does give them life when on paper they could have been seen as being very one dimensional and boring to listen to at best and to be fair to the episode it does also give the episode alot more charm as you never really know just what it is that the characters are going to be saying next.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Out of all of the people that they could have gotten to do voice work for this show Bernard Cribbins really was the best choice as he is just such a likable person anyway this is something that Doctor Who fans young and old know full well and yet it is something that does also come across in his acting for this episode with him even adding little tings that help to make the characters feel more thought out like for example he makes Great Uncle Bulgaria who is the leader of this part of The Wombles be a little bit more aloof and be a bit more commanding then what he might have been in the books. With the best actor in this episode for obvious reasons also being Bernard Cribbins as the man is just simply a joy to listen to in this episode as you can tell right from the start of the episode to right at the very end of the episode and that joy is something that does make his performance all the more fun to watch in the episode, with him even coming across as someone who read the books as his performance in the episode does come across as someone who was a fan of the books and therefore turned in a good performance because of the fact that he wanted to do right not only by the characters but also by the books themselves. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actor has to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of him naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that really are currently over at FilmFair. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that this episodes animation is of as high a quality is something that's not really all that surprising as FilmFair did have Ivor Wood not only directing the show but also doing all of the animation for the show and it is something that really does show through in the final episode. As the episode does have the same Ivor Wood look and feel to it that alot of this shows be it The Herbs or Paddington have to them and to be fair to this episode it is something that does work for the episode with both the show and the episode having a rather unique look to them as all of the things like trees and the backs of people's houses all seems to be done in paper cut out with The Wombles themselves being done in stopmotion with this being the kind of style that was used a little bit for The Herbs and yet here in this episode it does feel like that it was pushed as far as they could take it as we do get alot of shots in this episode that do make you wonder how they managed to film it with the best example of this being when Orinoco gets swept up in the Umbrella and it carries him home with the camera showing us him taking of from his point of view this is shot that today would have been very easy to do as you could it in CGI but back in the seventies there was no way that you could get a shot like this and yet here it is in this episode and it's a shot does look really good. The rest of the episodes animation does look about as good as you could expect from nineteen seventies stopmotion and yet the episode oddly enough doesn't feel like it's being held back by this rather it fully embraces its limiations and works around them.

For alot of you that don't really know this show is based off of a series books by author Elisabeth Beresford. With there being a total of six books released between 1968 and 1976 this is something that might explain why the storis aren't as well known to today's child audience as they would have been back in the day with it not really being helped by the fact that while the books are still in print there not the easiest the books to find as you can only find a few of them on Amazon's UK page and that's really it but what would be interesting to find out is if they took the same approach to telling the stories in this show that they did in Paddington where they only adapted the more humorous moments in the books and not really nothing else. As this episode does seem to rather gag driven as they don't set up anything about the characters or how they came to be here with the episode just cracking on with the story and heck it's hard to say if this episode was adapted from any of the books or not as there's no way of finding out any of that stuff but if it was then great as this was a really well written episode with there being some really cute characters moments with Orinoco and Great Uncle Bulgaria that do add to the episode and yet at the same time it would have been nice to see more of the other Wombles just so we can find out something about. Again to compare this episode to that of Paddington or even The Herbs for that matter in both shows in the first episode alone as find out alot about both the main character and the side characters whereas here in this episode we don't get to find out all that much about the characters outside of Orinoco who we find out is the lazy one of the group and that's it and while that might work for a storytelling method in the book as you have as many pages as you need to tell your story in a book for an animated show like this one the approach did need to be tweaked to fit this different format but it is still something that worked as well as it could have done tho.

It is easy to see why all of these characters really did take of back in the seventies as they are a bunch of really likable characters. This is something that you do see quite alot of the time just in this first episode alone and it is something that does make not only this episode but alot of the kids shows from around this time period like for example The Magic Roundabout and The Clangers as there is alot of thought and effort put into giving us these fun and charming characters and because of that all of them do come across as being really likable with this being one of the many reasons why shows like this one have stood the test of the time. With another reason being the fact that the episode itself is really cute and charming as while yes we all know that nothing bad is going to happen to the characters and we all know that at the end of the day there all going to make it back home safe and sound but what makes it charming to watch is despite all of that they do still show us just what a day in there lives are and that is something that does help to make the episode be alot more charming as this episode is one that could have been seen as being a very weak episode to start the show as a whole out on and that would be fair enough but at the same time tho the episode itself didn't need to be that strong in the first place it just needed to show you characters doing what they do best and if the makers of this show had done there job properly then we the audience would still be in love with the characters and want to see more of them and this is something that this episode does do quite well as while Orinoco does take the lead in the episode we still want to see more of the other Wombles those being Tonks , Wellington and Bungo that start out the episode even if it's just spend more time in this quite essentially British world.

In truth there's not really all that much with the episode itself and while that is a really goof thing it is something that could be seen as being a bad thing., As it does mean that the episode for the large part could be seen as being forgettable as while not alot actually does happen in the episode the episode also does nothing all that memorable either whereas if you look at the first episodes from British kids shows shows from around this same time they all do mostly have something that does make them standout a bit more be it the action from Thunderbirds or the more calming and relaxing nature of Bagpuss either way you do remember those episodes. Yet here with this episode outside of its high quality animation there's nothing that makes the episode be all the more memorable and while is something that could work to the episodes advantage as this show amongst many others are meant to be very slice of life there still did need to be something memorable about the episode and whilst one could argue that the shows opening theme song is the things that helps to make this episode more memorable that is not something that's exclusive to this episode. Not being all that memorable tho is is something that could be seen as being an advantage for the show as the show is meant to be all about how we humans never see The Wombles cleaning u after us therefor the show itself should represent the fact that we just never notice them and that does include not having memorable episodes and while the film "Wombling Free" would have us humans finally notice The Wombles that film isn't all memorable either, heck it could also be argued that the the thing that makes this episode be all the more memorable is the fact that it doesn't have alot of characters in it as there are only five characters in this whole episode and yet the episode still manages to tell a really good story.

Now then his episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly four minuets and fifty one seconds. Which for today's kids might not seem like much but for people of a certain age that is the bogstandard running time for a lot of classic kids shows as alot of them were all under five minuets in length and while this episode could have benefitted from having really a slightly longer running time just to introduce all of the shows main characters it really didn't need to do any of that as the episode does have more then enough thee interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. However tho with this is mind the episode still doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop its plot as we never get to find out why Great Uncle Bulgaria wants a copy of The Times and while the film does explain why The Wombles are always cleaning up after humans that's something that isn't touched upon in this episode and fair enough it really didn't need to as that might have been a bit to heavy for little kids to digest at the time but it is still something that is important to the plot of this episode. This is something that does also effect the episodes character development as while yes none of these shows are great at giving there characters development and to be fair they don't really need to either it still would have helped this episode alot if we did see Orinoco learn that sometimes being lazy can be a bad thing as that would be an important lesson to teach kids but at the same time tho there is also a chance that the episode characters might get there character development in later of episodes of the show which would be fair enough as this is only the first episode of the show but there still needs to be some groundwork laid for that development and while this episode isn't hurt by not giving it's characters any kind of character development it's also not helped by it either but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Wit the episode having alot of really cute funny moments in it that not only highlight just how funny that Bernard Cribbins was as an actor but also highlight just how funny that alot of this show characters can be as all of the characters in this episode do get a moment to just be funny. With the best joke in the whole entire episode being when Orinoco does finally get a copy of The Times and is quite literally flown back home in the Umbrella Great Uncle Bulgaria does take it off him and says that he can have double helpings of tea tonight for getting his work done quickly only for Orinoco just to lie down there on the grass and start to fall back to sleep, Which while that's not a laugh out loud funny joke it is perfectly in keeping with his character as the one things that he's been trying to do for all of the episode is try and get back sleep and therefor it does make sense that at the end of the work day he would again try and do exactly that as that's more true to his character altho the episode did a miss a trick by not having Great Uncle Bulgaria say that he's not a copy of the recent Times and that the copy he's brought him was yesterdays times as that is something that would have made sense given the fact that the episode takes place of a windy day and the fact that the characters have only just started there work of cleaning after us when it's found with the rest of the episodes jokes being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall whilst alot of people in other arts of the world might not know or even care about The Wombles if your off a certain age in Britain then odds are this was a show that you grew up with and to be fair this episode does do a really good job of making you want to watch the next episode with the episode more then holding up over fifty years later in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
