Crammed a couple of early Who DVD's in this week. First up is The Caves of Androzani , starring Peter Davison in his final appearance as the Dr, this is a complicated tale of two planets fighting over a precious substance called spectrox. Mired in the political and military shenanigans the Dr and Peri manage to contract a deadly disease and end up hostage to the Phantom of the Opera-esque robotic genius Sharaz Jek. Brilliant stuff ! Must look for other Davison Who now.
The Pyramids of Mars with Tom Baker was next, though this has a great story of the resurrection of Egyptian Gods and robot slaves in the English countryside the cheapo SFX kinda spoiled this one. If only they'd spent a few more pounds on the robot slaves I wouldn't have laughed so much and enjoyed this dark little tale a bit more. Particulary amusing was the poacher getting squashed between two robots mono-boobs, can't find the clip online, sorry but here's the Dr spelling out the problem for Sarah Jane.
