 Rating:  - The Doctor plays Criket! Need I say more?Doctor Who - Black Orchid (Episode 121) This is a rare short and historical episode of the long-running British Science Fiction TV show.

As usual, well acted and very good location. Rating: - It's still Who!!Yes there are no monsters. But who cares!! Doctor Who used to do historical episodes, and this seems to be an attempt by John Nathan Turner to bring back the historical episodes(that and most likely to save money, as the budget for this show was ridiculously LOW!). The episode is a lot of fun, despite it being a tad cliched. What is especially nice is to see the comaraderie between the tardis crew which was lacking in many of this Doctor's episodes, since everyone in the crew seemed to always be ... Read More |
