Doctor Who: Fury From The Deep Review



Doctor Who fans we are now officially living in an age where are now officially getting at the very least one or two new fully animated Doctor Who reconstructions every single years. As such I thought that i'd take a look back at the episode that is kind of an iconic episode and join me as I review the episode that saw the departure of one companion and the debut of another with the episode in question being called simply just "Fury From The Deep" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Jamie and Victoria find themselves at a Euro Sea Gas refinery off the coast of contemporary England where some rather infectious sea weed is currently spreading and it's up to our trio to stop the spread before all of the crew are in infected. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot of this actual episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot of this actual episode was really freaking good with a certain departure being handled very freaking well and the overall story very freaking enjoyable in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this episode is Patrick Troughton as The Doctor , Frazer Hines as Jamie McCrimmon and Deborah Watling as Victoria Waterfield. Also starring in this episode is Victor Maddern as Robson , Roy Spencer as Frank Harris , June Murphy as Maggie Harris , John Abineri as Van Lutyens , John Garvin as Carney , Hubert Rees as Chief Engineer , Graham Leaman as Price , Richard Mayes as Chief Baxter , Margaret John as Megan Jones , Brian Cullingford as Perkins , Bill Burridge as Mr Quill , John Gill as Mr Oak and Peter Ducrow as Guard.

Now then in terms of what I personally thought 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 really freaking good indeed. Which shouldn't really come as a complete and total surprise to absolutely anybody whatsoever as Doctor Who always has some really good acting within it and so it only makes sense that this episode also have some really good acting within in it as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.   



Doing the actual animation for this episode is Digitoonz Media & Entertainment PVT Ltd whom have provided the animation for episodes of Rick & Morty and several other things. Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then 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 at best OK which is a shame because these Doctor Who animations have been getting alot better recently but for some strange reason the animation in this episode just feels like a huge freaking step down in terms quality in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then I mentioned at the start of this review that this episode sees the debut of a companion and I was technically right since this is the episode that sees the debut of The Doctor's sonic screwdriver. Even tho the device itself in one short scene it's a scene that apparently left a huge impressions on the shows producers because they kept that device around until the fifth doctors run on the show where it was then destroyed only to be brought back into the show during the ninth doctors run on the show and it's not hard to see why the device was so popular because it really is a device that can very easily move along the plot of an episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then I was really well and truly shocked to see a wanted poster featured the Roger Delgado version of The Master in the background of various scenes of this very episode. This was a shock to me personally because even tho i've only seen this episode once all the way through i'd never noticed that one wanted poster before now but it was a nice little easter egg for die hard fans of the show to look for in this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Now then this episode also marks the final ever appearance of Deborah Watling as the character of Victoria Waterfield and well I have to say that that her leaving from the show was really well built up in this episode. Since we don't just get one scene near the end of the episode of her expressing her desire to leave the TARDIS for good no we get several very highly emotional scenes where she expresses her desire to leave the TARDIS for good and this makes her final appearance all the more emotional for freaking me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

So now then this episode was six episodes long with each episode lasting roughly twenty five minuets in length which means that this whole entire serial is roughly two and hours and thirty minuets in grand total length. Which is in all honesty the right amount of both episodes and length for a story like this one to last since it gives us more then enough time to connect to these new guest characters and it actually gives time to see why this episodes main villain is a threat and why we should be scared for our main heroes when they do indeed eventually come up against this episodes main villain in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


So now then since this is an episode of Doctor Who episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual villains that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode and well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual villains that are actually featured / presented to us in this very episode are kind of weak and not that scary looking. Which is a shame because they do have a really great power which is that this episodes main villains can eventually take over your mind after you've touched for just a split second which is a pretty cool and a pretty creepy power to have it's just a shame then that they couldn't really make this episodes main villains that freaking scary looking in my personal freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this was a pretty good episode that did an excellent job of handling a companions departure from the show but at the same time this episode also has some pretty freaking weak villains that just don't look that scary or even creepy to me personally in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode and well that means that this very episode erns itself a freaking 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 the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page , Amazon . co . uk and Goole Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
