    So bad its good

    After enduring the 4 episodes and special features on this DVD it makes me wonder why they continued to make Doctor Who. Even allowing for the fact that TV was still in its early days the actors in the special features kept banging on about how everybody in the new medium was from the theatre. Was the theatre in the 60's this bad as well? I know Doctor who is famous for its dodgy sets and low budget approach but this story was soooo lame so I couldn't enjoy any of that. the only thing left to say I guess is. Lucky the Aztecs spoke English.

    An early attempt at historical drama with Dr Who

    I already have this on VHS and, to be fair, it is not one of my favourite stories, but I wanted to see the DVD for the extras which are very good. For example, there is an amusing little cartoon on the origins of cocoa using Aztec characters and an aged short documentary about the Aztecs with Valerie Singleton.
