Nicholas Courtney, Elisabeth Sladen, and Deborah Watling in Downtime (1995)

Review by Sleepin_Dragon

Downtime

8/10

A later follow up to the Web of Fear

I think during the show's cancellation were were grateful for any conceivable new material. Reeltime Pictures had been producing some wonderful interviews, and the odd drama. Downtime was the most specifically Doctor Who spin off and drew hugely from Troughton's classic serial 'The Web of Fear.'

It's a bit clunky, some of the acting is dodgy at times, and the effects are shaky. But I applaud it for what it was, it was brave, bold, fun and gave us what we wanted, once more the Brig, Sarah Jane, Victoria and The Yeti were brought back to life.

It has a definite charm, I loved seeing Victoria Waterfield back to life, she was a great character, such a shame so many of her stories don't exist. How nice for her to once again to act alongside her dad, Jack Watling.

The music I think is brilliant, and has a high quality feel.

It's flawed, but fun, nostalgic and went someway towards bringing Doctor Who back, bravo, 8/10, I wish very much they made more!
