I'll never claim it's amazing, and Troughton has much better stories than this one, but I think between Ronald Allen doing a great job with not so great a role (he's also great in The Ambassadors of Death), and the dual act of the 2nd Doctor and Jamie on board the Dominator's ship, this one works better for me than it probably should!Morellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08852528242739450099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-74928789006900635922011-06-08T21:34:21.563-04:002011-06-08T21:34:21.563-04:00Mark (the reviewer, not me): You might like what&#...Mark (the reviewer, not me): You might like what's on the BBC site.<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/doctorwho/classic/episodeguide<br /><br />Lots of notes about all the old episodes, including reviews. I'd suggest writing your review first, so you don't get influenced by anything you read there.<br /><br />You are defintely not alone:<br /><i>A study in sadism, The Dominators is also very dull.</i><br />At the bottom of the review, it does mention:<br /><i>Fortunately, better was to come as the season progressed.</i>Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-62235328345321251592011-06-08T17:51:44.123-04:002011-06-08T17:51:44.123-04:00The novelization of The Dominators was better than...The novelization of <i>The Dominators</i> was better than the serial itself. Mind you, I was barely more than a foetus when I read it. At that age, I dare say I thought <i>The Hardy Boys</i> was top literature. Sadly, TV dates. But your imagination never does.<br /><br />Nice review, Mark. I have only a vague recollection of the Troughton era. Worzel/Tom/Peter are more vivid in my memory. And with the wiping policy of the 70s' I doubt I'll get to see much of what I've missed.
