Audience Member Absolutely beautiful. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Doctor Who does "Heart of Darkness", only this time the horror is actually a giant snake. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting and different story which is only really let down by the awful Special effect at the end (unless you've seen the beautiful new CGI sequence) Very similar to the film Avatar in story. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The TARDIS lands on a seemingly peaceful planet that is being assessed for potential colonisation by a human team; who aim to laud over the seemingly primative, peaceful and harmless inhabitants. Although of course, this is Doctor Who, and the peace doesn't last long (as you would expect), and various people are possessed by the spirit of the evil snake-like Mara. This makes for odd scenes; sometmes odd in a 'good' way (some of the surreal scenes are great); sometimes odd in a 'bad' way (what was the point of the stupid jester? Why did the possessed humans hav to start acting like toddlers?) I paricularly enjoyed the Tegan scene (I doubt there is any other Davison story where I can say that!) in which she wonders into an area of the forest that hypnotises her and drags her into a hell of her own making; complete with Bowie-esque scary mime-artist type creature - of whom I know had I watched this as a kid would have totally freaked me out. The hallucination scenes are very trippy and creepy, but its difficult to know on first viewing how much I like this strange and seemingly disjointed story, which is a little bit Avatar, a little bit David Lynch ha. Certainly one of the most interesting and compelling of the Davison years I've seen so far. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
