Doctor Who - Series 4 Vol.3 on DVD (2008)

LLT99 from Leeds , 18/07/2008

Hurray! Just when we were all beginning to think that this series wasn't up to much, the authors come up with 3 episodes containing all the suspense, plot twists and sheer nail-biting terror that Dr Who fans expect. Catherine Tate finally has a chance to show us what she is really made of in the gripping 2 parter 'The Library' and 'Forest of the Dead', whilst the other episode on this DVD 'Midnight', devoid of almost all special effects, relies on good old fashioned top acting, and a wacking good script to keep the audience behind thier sofas... Phew! The series is looking up - Dr Who fans can breathe a sigh of relief, and enjoy being deliciously terrified!!

Despite some impressive CGI of the Library and the Midnight planet, you get the impression that the budget is being saved on these episodes, perhaps to keep money for the finale. I found the library stories unsatisfying with too many unexplained bits and plot holes, and the final episode on the disk was focussed on the angst and breakdown of the veneer of 'civilised' values of people in crisis and facing possible unpleasant death, and frankly I couldn't give a toss!
