Doctor Who fans with their being no new news when it comes to future of these Doctor Who animated reconstructions we can all but hope that he range will continue on ward. With their being alot of great Doctor Who animated reconstructions out their and alot of bad ones as well there is one that is always overlooked and that's the one that i'm going to be talked about today and so then join me as I review the episode that alot of people forget about with the episode in question being called simply just "Galaxy 4" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is The Doctor , Steven and Vicki find themselves trapped on a planet and have to escape before the planet blows up. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that' 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 rather thin at best with it being very hard to tell what the plot of the episode actually was at times because it was that very thinly drawn out in the episode itself in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is William Hartnell as The Doctor , Casualty star Maureen O'Brien as Vicki and Blue Peter presenter Peter Purves as Steven Taylor. Also starring in this episode is Stephanie Bidmead as Maaga , Marina Martin as Drahvin One , Susanna Carroll as Drahvin Two , Monty Python's Flying Circus star Lyn Ashley as Drahvin Three , Robert Cartland as The Voice Of The Rills and Barry Jackson as Garvey.
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. With all of this episodes cast turning in some really good performances with perhaps the best performer outside of the main three being Stephanie Bidmead is just a joy to watch since she really does turn in a really good performance in this episode and out of the main three the best performer is quite easily William Hartnell.
Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Digitoonz Media & Entertainment PVT Ltd. 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 actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad for the most part since the characters do have to some very choppy animation to them but at the same time tho the backgrounds do look absolutely stunning and are a treat for the eyes to see.
Usually when they do one of these Doctor Who animation reconstructions it's usually because of the fact that the whole serial is missing. However in this case it;s only three of the four episodes that are missing with the only surviving episode being episode 3 this means that the team behind this animation had alot of to look at to make it as faithful to the original broadcast as they possibly could do and while they did make a few changes here and there they did keep the original audio untouched which was something that I really did like as it was something that they really didn't have to do and yet the fact that they did it just shows that have alot of love and passion for Doctor Who as a whole.
To me this episode in particular was done as a test since this is a the first First Doctor story to be fully animated and so this episode was done mainly to see if they could shift copies from the blu-ray The Collection range. Since alot of people who buy those blu-ray's wouldn't have been able to see any episodes from the William Hartnell era of Doctor Who and so what better way to see if people would by a collection of just his episodes then to release a fully animated reconstruction that features his version of The Doctor.
To be frank I have no idea as to why this story was chosen to be animated since it's not really a good story. Heck one of the other issues that I have with this animation is the fact that all of the Drahvin's look exactly the same barring the clothes that they wear this makes it hard for anyone to tell who is who because you can't tell which one your looking at and this is something that could have been fixed in this animation just by giving each of the Drahvin's something that makes each of them standout but for some reason they just didn't do that.
Now then while I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and thirty minuets. Which i'd still argue is a bit to long for this story to last as this story really doesn't have alot of plot to cover that amount of running time and as such things that shouldn't take that long now take up several scenes all in the name of padding out the story and all of this could have been fixed if this episode was three or perhaps even two episodes long.
So now then since there is some action in this episode that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action 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 action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. With this episodes action being rather rightfully really cool to look at as well as being very entertaining and thrilling as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a rather bland episode and if this was a test then they should have picked a much more stronger episode since this episode isn't going to get the The First Doctor any new fans at all 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 means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 6 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 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 Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
