The EYE OF HORUS Editor

"...cleaned & enhanced by The Restoration Team... essential viewing..."

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 1 april 2013

DOCTOR WHO - THE CHASE has been consummately cleaned & enhanced by The Restoration Team but I am continually bemused (nothing new there.) that the VidFIRE process is not applied to all "black & white" prints. Financial restraints?

Nevertheless, this three-disc set release (THE SPACE MUSEUM and THE CHASE) is essential viewing for NEW SERIES fans as it demonstrates the breadth of storytelling (presented within the production constraints of 1960s television), powerful acting (the final scenes with the Doctor fondly remembering Ian & Barbara is wonderfully heartwarming) and the legacy of the daleks.

The eyeofhorus.org.uk rating for this DVD release may seem remarkable (9/10) but, whilst the print could have garnered more attention, it is DVD EXTRA package (including a range of exciting short CGI clips created by Rob Semonoff for the featurette, DALEKS BEYOND THE SCREEN) that is so creatively and professionally produced that it necessitates such high praise.

The commentary team is, once again, superbly "moderated" by Peter Purves, guiding listeners through a myriad of disparate episodes collated under the umbrella title of THE CHASE. Purves is manages William Russell, Maureen O'Brien and director Richard Martin.

Peter Purves on DOCTOR WHO - THE CHASE: A spectacular serial.

Richard Martin: I became the "Dalek Director" and I was desperate to get my hands on all this motorised dustbin rubbish.

William Russell on seeing the dalek design for the first time: I thought they were extraordinary. The first time I saw them I laughed what with this lavatory plunger.

Richard Martin details the limitation of "editing" & "filming" in the early days of DOCTOR WHO. Physically "editing" 2-inch tape was forbidden except for a maximum of five cuts, and that camera angles tilting were limited to no more than 30-degree as the camera lenses would drop out if too excessive.

William Russell on Ian Chesteron: What a heartthrob.

On the cliffhanger to episode one and the revealing of a dalek from the sand, Maureen O'Brien confesses: Oh, it's a model. I had no idea.

Peter Purves on the daleks: I cannot understand the fear of the daleks by children. I wanted to fear the Aridians.

Peter Purves on Hartnell: Bill was remarkably wonderful.
Maureen O'Brien: He had a kind of moral sense he brought to it. He was dangerous. The irascibility and a snarl he could bring at times.
Peter Purves: Bill was very generous.
William Russell: Polite but not friendly.

On co-star, Jacqueline Hill as Barbara Wright, William Russell recalls: Jackie was remarkable. A very delicate performer. Absolutely terrific.
Maureen O'Brien: She was a rock. Dependable. Very modern. So kind to me.
Peter Purves: A sad loss.

Peter Purves recounts the moment during DOCTOR WHO - THE MYTH MAKERS that Bill Hartnell fluffed a key line (The Doctor: I'm not a dog. God!)

William Russell on the poor catering facilities at Riverside Studios in 1964: I organised this thing with Verity Lambert and we'd bring in a hamper. Bill trumped us all with a Fortnum & Mason Hamper and Champagne.

Peter Purves revealed that he audition for the part of a Menoptra in DOCTOR WHO - THE WEB PLANET but didn't get the part.

For episode 4, Richard Martin discusses the change of location to a "horror" setting: We were pretty stumped about where THE CHASE should go. I suggested we go into the "inner-man". But it is rubbish. It looks as if it put together in a hurry.
Maureen O'Brien: DOCTOR WHO - THE HORROR MOVIE.

Richard Martin on his directing ambitions: "I want to do fantasy", I told the BBC. I want to extend the boundaries of reality both psychological and physically. They (the BBC) said, "My God! Stick him on DR WHO".

Maureen O'Brien on his time in DOCTOR WHO: I was very unnerved about being known in DOCTOR WHO. I was out of my element. I think was having a nervous breakdown.

Peter Purves scolds the NEW SERIES (BBC WALES) for having lost the premise that the TARDIS is un-steerable.
Maureen O'Brien: Oh, how sad!

On seeing the tawdry forest set for episode 5, Peter Purves: This one looks like a lack of money.
Richard Martin: You're right. We were skint.

Peter Purves reveals that both Maureen O'Brien and William Hartnell had put in a good word for him to return to DOCTOR WHO as Steven Taylor. Peter Purves: I was thrilled to be cast.
Maureen O'Brien: I wasn't sorry to be out.

William Russell on his career: It helped my career, I enjoyed DOCTOR WHO enormously. A combination of a Reparatory (Theatre) situation but on television.

Peter Purves on a classic William Hartnell fluff from the final episode: It would not be DOCTOR WHO without Bill's fluff - "Lost in..Spain!"

The additional EXTRAS on Disc One are, as you'd expect on with an included second disc, scant but are heart-warming.

CUSICK IN CARDIFF is a joyously momentous as the original dalek designer, Raymond Cusick visiting the BBC WALES studios under the guiding hand of NEW SERIES designers Edward Thomas and Peter McKinstry. Cusick's verbal thesis on the visualisation of Terry Nation's creations is absorbing and truly entertaining. This re-worked "Now and Then" featurette should be revisited for future CLASSIC SERIES DVD releases focussing on Directing, Set Design, Special Visual Effects, Special Sound Effects, Costume Design, etc.

Probably for the first time in many a DVD release, DOCTOR WHO - THE CHASE Disc Two's EXTRAS are thoughtful, professionally produced and entertaining, with a rightful focus on DOCTOR WHO's most iconic of aliens - daleks.

SHAWCRAFT - THE ORIGINAL MONSTERS MAKERS feature details the dedicated professionalism of a team of former engineers based in a "lock-up" in Uxbridge (London) creating extraterrestrial designs with little money and little time. Remarkable for its time. FOLLOW THAT DALEK could be regarded as "part two" as it continues to go behind-the-scenes at SHAWCRAFT with recently restored colour 8mm cine (Cine? Like a camcorder but without any digital hard-drive) film from 1967.

DALEKS BEYOND THE SCREEN examines the merchandise opportunities that the BBC exploited from the sixties to the present day. And who must have the best DOCTOR WHO job? BBC Worldwide's Dave Turbitt.

Its been a long time in coming (and the wait has been worthwhile) but DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTROY is the ultimate dalek documentary, detailing the rise and rise of the alien's influence not only within the drama series but within the psyche of the nation. A fascinating and honest dissertation.

William Russell reads from the novelisation of DOCTOR WHO - THE CHASE as an introduction of LAST STOP WHITE CITY with glowing contributions from a very dapper director Richard Martin, CLASSIC SERIES vision mixer Clive Doig and a youthful writer Simon Guerrier. This featurette is sleight in content but nonetheless reverential.

I have to admit I do have a life outside DOCTOR WHO so I have not been able to find time to sit through the DOCTOR WHO "GIVE-A-SHOW" SLIDES. When I acquire influenza in the winter I will endeavour to view them.

Ian and Barbara's Last Adventures in Time and Space!

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 21 juni 2018

Verifierat köp

2 wonderful stories that features the last adventures of Ian and Barbara with the Doctor and the 1st one The Space Museum sees the Tardis land on the Xeros, whilst they explore they come across a museum much like Van Stattens in New Who which houses relics from so called galactic conquests from the race of aliens from The Morok Empire.

While they wander around they come across themselves as exhibits and have to find a way to stop that future event from happening.

We get commentary from the writer himself along with William Russell, Maureen O'Brien and Peter Purves.

There is a lovely documentary with William Hartnells real life granddaughter talking about how his life and what it was like being at school when kids were watching doctor who and how she had to not bragg that her grandfather was this iconic character that everybody became interested in.

There is a little documentary called Defending The Museum where Rob Shearman who wrote Dalek for new who defends this story as it came in for a lot of stick and having watched it you can see how he was influenced by it for his story.

The Chase is the last story featuring the original companions from Unearthly Child Ian and Barbara, the doctor discovers that somehow Daleks have discovered how to time travel and want to exterminate him and his companions.

This is a lovely story as The Tardis flies around the Universe and lands on various planets and places on Earth, The Daleks are not far behind them, we see them after first capture by the Daleks on the Planet Aridius go to the top of the Empire State Buliding where they encounter a whacky american played by Peter Purves who comes back looking completely different as a character that would become the next male companion Steven Taylor.

The Tardis lands on the Mary Celeste where the Daleks have followed and end up sending all the crew of the ship jumping overboard when they start asking where the Timelord has gone!

We then go to a haunted house which is like your waxwork museum but with characters like Dracula, Frankenstein etc that come to life and then we finally end up on the Planet Mechanus where we the Daleks are defeated.

It is here we say goodbye when Ian and Barbara realise that with the Daleks time machine that they can get back home to a normal life they left behind when they followed Susan and barged their way into the Tardis that started their adventure, The Doctor is reluctant to let them go but is persuaded by Vicki that it is their choice and they want to experience sleeping in their own beds at home and having a cup of tea.

The Doctor shows them how to work the Dalek craft and when they land back home it explodes, Ian and Barbara have landed in 1965 just 2 years out from when they left but find things have changed even the bus fare.

Great companions but the show is about change and this is where we start to think yes the Doctor may stay the same for a couple of years but we can get new people to come in and get the wow factor going around time and space.

The usual commentaries again from William Russell, Maureen O'Brien, Peter Purves and the Director Richard Martin.

Great Documentaries such as Cusick in Cardiff where the original designer for the Daleks Raymond Cusick visits the Doctor Who studio in Cardiff and is given the tour by Ed Thomas.

Richard Martin looks back at making this story, whilst we have a look back at the characters of Ian and Barbara in Last Stop White City.

Daleks Conquer and Destroy is an insight to the never ending appeal of these iconic characters and New Who writer Rob Sherman with Nicholas Briggs and various others discuss their fascination, very interesting to watch.

This is a must have to have in your collection if your a fan of the original tardis crew or want to watch a Dalek story that has a lot of humour and it is fun to watch.

Lighten up, Who and Dalek fans alike, and enjoy...

5 stars you may be asking? Well I just got this boxset for my birthday, uncertain what to expect as I haven't seen much Hartnell material and was pleasantly surprised and entertained throughout. I therefore feel these stories seem oddly much-maligned, as even the bonus features on the Space Museum itself suggests. So let's start with that.
As most Hartnell stories seem either historical or Dalek-laden fares, this was a nice little bit of sci-fi relief. All good stuff and like a lot of those early ones the flimsy production standards (including some acting) which may be dated now can be overlooked due to a story with thought provoking themes. In this case the real enemy is time itself, as the heroes arrive to see themselves preserved as exhibits - therefore the real challenge is to escape that certain future and indeed if such a task is possible. The sorta thing a time-travel story should be about and really shows up the superficial effect-laden storytelling of today's series. As for the acting most principals were fine and Bill himself is one I find very watchable, able to vary from crotchety to bumbling to dark to humerous to authoritarian to mysterious to even quite an active fellow and always a wise old soul. This is despite his infamous line fluffing but other cast are guilty of it - t'was the days of tv being filmed live after all. It also featured another Bill trait: he disappears for a whole episode! I used to think this was due to ill health but have since learned that, again due to the live nature, it's to allow for holidays an actor had to fit into filming schedules. And low & behold one of the bonus documentaries even focuses on that and it proves to be rather amusing.
The Chase is itself a rarity - a pre-Davros Dalek story which I actually enjoy AND a 6-parter which I don't find exhausting. It's a slightly different plot for the Daleks which is good as I often find theirs to be, like their dialogue & character, rather monotonous and 1-dimensionally repetitive. Again it's a story that makes good use of the ability to travel throughout time & space being a varied little odyssey for heroes & daleks alike. The Daleks even have some humorous moments themselves and there's the wonderful scene atop the Empire State Building where an Alabama tourist faces a Dalek and rather than cower in fear, bursts out laughing. Something I think we all would do, really, as even their design is mocked here.
So well worth getting if you don't like you're Who too solemn and self-righteous and actually appreciate it for the light-hearted TV entertainment it is and should be. Well worth it for Hartnell alone as I now consider him one of the superior incarnations and a very much overlooked one

Extras are entertaining and the makings-of prove quite insightful. The Chase obviously has plenty on Daleks but overall I was quite impressed. The bonus material is often the big sell of Who DVDs but I was uncertain with the early stuff particularly due to the first three Doctors being permanently unable to contribute to their stories. However it is made up for with some fascinating stuff

Classic Who at its best!

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 9 december 2013

I will begin with 'The Space Museum' - I can understand the criticism that it gets from fans, however, despite its flaws, it's a solid piece of science fiction which has its moments. Yes, the Moroks and the Xerons aren't going to be at the top of any fan's list of favourite races which the Doctor has encountered; but the philosophy behind their conflict is wonderful. Immoral leaders facing off against a younger generation of revolutionary Xerons is, in principle a solid storyline. Episode 1, as often highlighted, is the highlight of the story; but moments such as Hartnell appearing from a Dalek and his interrogation are brilliant! All in all, this is a good story which, despite its flaws, is watchable and enjoyable. 4/5 for this story.

'The Chase' is my favourite Dalek story - it's really just a bit of fun; which was certainly missing in many early stories which dealt with issues such as tragedy (e.g. The Reign of Terror) or oppression (e.g.The Space Museum). This is not to say that these stories didn't have elements of fun in them; I am merely saying that the theme of them wasn't revolved around fun. 'The Chase' is just that. Daleks bitching to one another, a haunted house and the comical jungle mushroom-like plants on Mechanus are just a few of these fun elements. Away from the theme of fun, however, and you get a genuinely thrilling story with the premise that the Daleks have discovered the secret of time-travel; it can only be a good story! Yes the sets can be tatty sometimes, yes the costumes can look silly; but this is a damn good story and the ending (no spoilers for those yet to watch) is epic, saddening and joyful; a truly awesome conclusion to a brilliant story. 5/5 for this story!

Another 2 classic stories to my collections

I have mixed reviews about this boxset.
The Space museum was a brilliant story which I actually loved. Specially the first episode is action packed. But for the chase it was okay. It did have its good points and was okay in parts. But wouldn’t say it was that bad. But if your just starting out just like me collecting all the classic episodes this is a must have for your collection

A CHASE THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

Recenserad i Storbritannien den 7 augusti 2010

Verifierat köp

Unless you are a died in the wool Doctor Who fan, there's little in this that you'll love. If you are a true Who-head you'll probably absolutely love this for all the wrong reasons.

It's absolutely naff, but because of that loveable just the same, probably even more so, everything that was bad about classic Doctor Who is in here.

Pointless stories (both the Chase and The Space Museum) terrible acting, WIlliam Hartnell fluffing his lines,wobbly sets, Daleks revealing themselves before they should do, Daleks going round in circles to try and convince the viewer that there's more than about three of them,crap new monsters in the form of the Mechanoidsand a duplicate Doctor who looks nothing like William Hartnell.

But because of that you kind of go with the flow and accept all the foibles of this vintage piece of British tevelevision action from the mid 1960's.

It's probably saved by the powerful ending to the Chase, when Jacquelien Hill and William Russell leave the show, definitely one for the pure Whovians and not the casual television viewer.

Excellent bonus disc...

While most agree that these two stories may not be the best in the Who canon, they do look very good in this dvd presentation. The star of the package, however is the Special Features disc. The sight of all those animated daleks running (?) around makes me wonder if we might be in for a future digital "restoration" of some of the missing Dalek stories that now exist only in audio form. Could an animated "Dalek Masterplan," or "Power Of The Daleks," be in our future?

Love The Chase. A great send off for Ian and Barbara. Brilliantly realised Dalek v Mechanoid battle near the end. Daleks also show their humour in this one!

Both stories were lots of fun, I never realized how experimental the Hartnell era was. Don't know if it's true, but I bought the Region 2 version, because I heard the Beatles footage isn't on the Region 1 version. It was also cheaper.
