It is a shame though, that the Beeb allowed the entire serial to be junked in line with their shameful 60’s practice of deleting serials to re-use tapes. He even gets the honour of being knighted by King Richard and later, tortured by ants by being staked out in the desert and covered in honey! He then finds himself on a momentous mission to rescue Rivesh Mantilax from. Stumbling across a mysterious alien artifact in a local diner, the Doctor is led to Area 51, also known as Dreamland, the US' most secret base. The Crusade gives companion Ian his greatest turn yet, decked out in Knight’s armour and representative of the King. Dreamland sees the iconic TARDIS touch down in the desert in the USA. Saladin – on the other hand, is surrounded by able and treacherous generals, who perceive his lack of direct force – against the infidels as weakness. However, Doctor Who presents a fair take on both sides of the conflict, laying bare the less than virtuous regimes warts-and-all.Ī tortured and unsure – King Richard is beset by a decadent and viceful army, who prefer to drink and cavort in the streets of Jerusalem. It would be easy to play the Saracens off – merely as savage boogeymen.
Likewise, The Earl Of Leicester and El Akir both impress as secondary antagonists and Doctor Who regular Jean Marsh – as the ‘tough-as-nails’ Princess Joanna. Arise Sir Ian, and be valiant!” Richard Lionheart “In the name of God, Saint Michael, and Saint George, we dub you Sir Ian, Knight of Jaffa. Whilst Saladin is played as a cunning but wary Sultan of the Saracrens.

A must see TV classic! My Ratings: Episodes 1, 2, 3, 5 and 7 - 10/10, Episode 4 - 9.5/10, Episode 6 - 9/10 Overall: 9.Character actor Julian Glover is excellent as Richard Lionheart a tortured, self-doubtful and impulsive war-mongering king. The more filler like episodes towards the end are in fact very exciting and still include a lot more character development than almost any modern day TV show. Episode 6 is slightly less impressive than the rest but not so much as to drop below a very high standard. Join Zach Wilson, Dave Child, and Adrian Snow to break down the first part of the new season of Doctor WhoABOUT DOCTOR WHO:Doctor Who is a British science-f. Admittedly the Thals are not nearly as interesting as the Daleks and there are occasional flaws like the explanation of Thal/Dalek history in episode 4. Things such as low ceilinged corridors, perfect for Daleks rather than designed for humans show thought and add believability that the impressive Dalek City was really built by Daleks for Daleks. The only things such as Daleks using paper printouts and pen written letters are totally forgivable in what is still an impressive and impactful production. Whilst certain aspects of all the old Doctor Who episodes are dated these small issues are at an absolute minimum here. The acting and direction are good and the story and concepts throughout capture the imagination. Thank goodness they did this as it lead to 50 years and counting of TV magic! The whole story is excellent and innovative. Review of all 7 episodes - This story is what really established Doctor Who in the public consciousness with the introduction of the fantastic and iconic metal cased monsters, the Daleks.
