double Troughton = double awesome
Apr. 23rd, 2010 06:21 pmI just finished watching the reconstruction of the Second Doctor story "The Enemy of the World." My non-spoilery review is that it's fab, with good performances all around (especially Patrick Troughton in a double role) and a complex script by David Whitaker that by Classic Who standards is remarkably tightly-plotted. There are also some truly creepy moments courtesy of a minor character who's best summarized by what Jamie says of him: "You must have been a nasty little boy." Even if you don't like reconstructions, give this one a try. This and "The Macra Terror" are the reconstructions I'd call indispensable for Second Doctor fans.
