Doctor Who fans I finally get the possibility of starting something that I haven't done in some time and that's do a review of a classic Doctor Who series and as luck would have I just so happened to have gotten to classic Doctor Who series on Blu-Ray for my birthday. So then let's start of this review with the first very first episode from Season Twelve with the episode in question being called simply just "Robot" enjoy.
The plot of this serial is a freshly regenerated Doctor , Sarah Jane Smith and the crew over at UNIT have to deal with a string of robberies all of which seem connected to plans for a top secret disintegrator gun. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us this very serial in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very serial was in all honesty really freaking good with this serial doing a good job of setting whom this new Doctor is as well as giving as a genuinely engaging storyline in my freaking freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this serial is of course the great Tom Baker as The Doctor and the late and the most certainly great Elisabeth Sladen as Sarah Jane Smith. Also starring in this serial is of course Ian Marter as Harry Sullivan , Nicholas Courtney as Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart , John Levene as RSM Benton , Edward Burnham as Professor Kettlewell , Patricia Maynard as Miss Winters , Alec Linstead as Jellicoe and Michael Kilgarriff as Robot K1.
Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very freaking serial well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in very freaking serial was in all honesty really freaking good. With Tom Baker espically being on really good form in his debut serial in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then as I mentioned at the start of this very freaking review this serial was the first serial to feature Tom Baker as The Doctor and this serial really does get alot of what we'd expect to see from his version of The Doctor down perfectly. Since we see him doing silly things with him then going straight into a more serious moment at the drop of a hat and we also see the love genuine concern that his portrayal of The Doctor has for his companion Miss Sarah Jane Smith with that partnership being a key thing for the reminder of Tom Baker's run as The Doctor in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then I have to admit that even the special effects for this serial espically for the time that were made were in all honesty really freaking good. With alot of this serial special effects in all honesty having me wondering how in the heck they managed to get that exact same shot with the entire third act act with the Robot K1 being a true standout when it comes to actual special visual effects that are in this very freaking serial in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then I really did like the idea that a robot could have actual human feelings since it then brings into question on if The Doctor and his friends are right in doing what they are actually doing to this very freaking same robot. My only gripe with this idea is that it's really explored that much since it's something that only gets brought up a few times and that's really it and as such this one simple good idea actually like a complete and total waste f this one freaking good idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then one of the few things about this serial was this serials main villain simply because I felt that this serials main villain really need to be in this serial. This is since you could have just have had the robot in question just be a random alien robot whom wants to blow up the world / earth and nothing that important about this serials main plotline would have had ti have been changed and as such this serial main villain and all of her henchmen just came across as seeming pretty freaking uses less to me personally in my freaking personal opinions anyways / at least.
Now then I really cannot remember this serials exact running time but given that this serial is exactly four episodes long with each episodes running for roughly twenty four to twenty five minuets it's a safe bet to say that this serial has a combined running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets. Which is a bit on the short side for this kind of Doctor Who storyline since even with just one more extra episode Would have developed the idea of robots having actual human feelings which ultimately in the end would have worked very freaking well in /or even freaking to this serial advantage in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then there is shockingly plenty of freaking action to be found in this freaking serial which means that I have to actually talk about all of the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very freaking serial and 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 freaking serial was in all honesty really freaking good. Altho I will very freaking admit that the obvious model miniature tank shot is hilariously distracting it didn't distract me to much from alot of the cool action that we get to see in this very freaking serial in my very freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this serial is full to freaking brim with lots of wonderfully silly moments and lots of wonderfully serious moments as well both of which work very freaking in this very freaking serial in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good things that are in this very very freaking serial in this very freaking review with this serial earning itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 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 Amazon . CO . UK , the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page and Google 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 Doctor Who fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Doctor Who fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
