The story that killed Dr. Who July 28, 2003
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Caves of Androzani was the story that killed Dr Who. I don't mean the character - I mean the TV series. What the production team achieved on this story - especially given what had preceded it that season - was extraordinary. Here was a production that was accomplished and polished, that was witty and dark, that was played with conviction. The design was good, hte lighting (for a change) was moody and fitting. Its being a regeneration story served only to draw attention to its strengths. It isn't difficult to see that the production team spent Davison's last season, especially this story, on trying to build on the show's success in the 60s and 70s.
It was obvious that after the demise of Tom Baker's Doctor the show was becoming perceived as rather old, and a bit tired, and the show wouldn't last much longer, and if there is one story that depicted the show's demise, it's this story. The end of an era; the end of a programme. After this (no offence to Colin Baker and Sylvester McCoy) the show went on a downfall, with only 4million people tuning in. It's fitting that we should see Caves of Androzani as a great way to end a great series.
