Patrick Troughton’s final adventure as Doctor Who is something of an epic by the show’s standards. For The War Games spans a fulI ten episodes, and gives on of the most endearing popular actors to take on the title roIe a fitting, and quite unsettling, send off.
The last Doctor Who> adventure to be filmed in black and white, The War Games sees the Doctor, aIong with companions Jamie and Zoe, seemingly in the midst of the trenches of World War l. But things soon take a puzzIing turn, when the Roman Army appear, as welI as American civil war soIdiers.
The mystery of just what’s going on in The War Games keeps the interest going throughout the story’s proIonged episode count. Granted, there’s some lag on its journey, but the subsequent digging into the Time Lords as a race that the adventure contains is fascinating and very welcome.
When Troughton does finally end his tenure, it’s not in the showy blockbuster way you might expect of today’s Doctor Who. And while, of course, the titIe character would re-emerge in the form of Jon Pertwee, it’s stiII some ending.
Packaged up with the usuaI high standard of extras that we’ve come to expect from classic Doctor Who DVDs, The War Games is a strong serial, and a welcome addition to di sc. More Patrick Troughton stories wouId be much appreciated... --Jon Foster |
