The Doctor Who Thread

[MrBarlow]

Dr. Who And The Daleks. 1965.

The Doctor show's Ian, the boyfriend of his granddaughter Barbara his time machine The TARDIS, along with Susan they are transported to a planet ruled by the Daleks and help a race of people called Thals who the Daleks want to destroy.

This was the first of two Dr Who films with Peter Cushing and first time actually seeing this one all the way through, Roy castle teams up with Mr Cushing (after Dr Terror's House Of Horror) and still brings comedy to his character which to me seems daft. Jennie Linden stars as Barbara, who does one or two bits of screaming but never goes over the top and brings some good entertainment. Roberta Tovey plays the young Susan and shows how talented she is at being brave and smart like her grandfather. Decent Sunday night entertainment with some good and forgotten effects.

Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. 1966.

The doctor, his neice, granddaughter and a policeman travel to the future where Daleks are trying to conquer the earth.

Peter Cushing and Roberta Tovey return for the second film along with Jill Curzon as his niece Louise and Bernard Cribbins as P.C. Tom and Andrew Keir who plays the some what hero of the rebels fighting against the Daleks with wheelchair bound Godfrey Quigley and Ray Brooks.

This one has always been enjoyable to watch, anything with Andrew Keir you know it be good, his acting is usually grumpy or speaking loudly and thankfully you don't need subtitles on when he is talking. The effects are a bit outdated but still manage to work even for the spaceship to crash at the mine was probably more effective back in the day, still good set pieces to admire from the Dalek control room.

Who: Before And After #825

Name: Clive Swift [1936 - 2019]
Year(s): 1985 / 2007
Stories: Revelation Of The Daleks part 1 – Revelation Of The Daleks part 2 / Voyage Of The Damned
Character(s): Mr. Jobel / Mr. Cooper

Note(s):

• Was due to play the part of Gilbrook in the Big Finish audio story 'Creatures of Beauty', but was forced to pull out due to a family illness
• Apparently, he was not a nice person in real life! Doctor Who Magazine contributor Benjamin Cook interviewed him about Mr Copper and 'Voyage of the Damned' for DWM 391. During the course of the interview, Swift questioned Cook's journalism credentials, dismissed questions, and commented on not being paid to participate. He also cut off Cook's final question with the remark that "I know that you all think that this is a big world, this Who business. But it isn't. There are much bigger things than this." When Cook replied, "Maybe, but it means a lot to a great many of us," he terminated the interview. Cook commented in 2017 that the interview had to be approved by Russell T and Julie Gardner in order to be printed, and suspected they allowed it because Swift had been a "sod" on set.

Was Clive Swift staying in his Mr Jobel character as he was a bit of a pompous twat or did he not like giving interviews at all.
