Doctor Who - The Five Doctors [1983]
Yes, The Five Doctors is the one that gathers together Hartnell, Troughton, Pertwee, Baker and Davison, dumps them on some moorland and lets some of the Doctor’s greatest enemies take potshots at them. Except, of course, that William Hartnell had sadly passed on by the time this series was made in 1983 (although his replacement Richard Hurndall does an excellent job) and Tom Baker was only featured as a patched-in cameo, apparently prevented from joining in by a temporal thingummy. However, this kind of creakiness comes with the territory and is soon forgotten. The assorted incarnations of the Doctor (together with a scattering of assistants) are drawn together through time and space to battle Daleks, Cybermen, Yeti–those weird androids which keep jumping into the air and disappearing–and many other old foes. They realise that they’re on their home planet of Gallifrey and must eventually deal with the legacy of Rassilon, founder of the Time Lords. It’s all great fun, of course, and the excellent chapter points on this DVD compensate for the rather self-indulgent lack of editing. –Roger Thomas

Customer Review: Fun x 5!
The Five Doctors was originally broadcast on the 25/11/1983. It was the 20th anniversary special of the series and was what usually would be

4 25 min episodes in 1 90 min movie lenght episode.

It see’s a powerful timelord (not tellin who!) gather the 5 incarnations of the Doctor (Peter Davison, Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton,

Richard Hurndall, Tom Baker and William Hartnell) and a variety of companions that include Tegan (Janet Fielding), Turlough (Mark Strickson), Sarak Jane Smith (Elisabeth Sladen),

Brigadier Lethbridge Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) and

Susan (Carole Ann Ford) in the Death-Zone, a sort of Gallifreyan

theme-park were either the innocent or the guilty are put to the test of survival.

The 5 Doctors all try to reach the tomb of Rassilon (a great timelord god!) to try and find the answer to the mystery.

Of course it won’t be easy, along the way there are Cybermen, a Dalek and a Yeti and that sort of feeling you get when you feel your being watched!

An absolutely great Doctor Who story and a must have for Doctor Who fans!

Customer Review: A HELL OF A LOT OF FUN!
“The five doctors”, it`s not the most amazing doctor who story ever, but it`s alot of fun. Let me start with the bad points:

1. The absence of Tom Baker (however at least they got unseen footage of him in it)

2. The dalek only appears for about two minutes.

3. Susan twisting her ankle is totaly unnecessary

That done and dusted, bring on the good points:

1. Richard Hurdnall does a good job portraying the first doctor.

2. The awsome battle between the Cybermen and the raston warrior robot.

3. Peter Davison, Patrick Troughton and Jon Pertwee on screen together. (such a shame Tom Baker isn`t there though.)

4. The whole yeti scene. I won`t spoil it for those who haven`t seen it.

There are no extras but “the five doctors” remains a great buy. Bon Apetite!

Carousel [1956]
The 1956 screen adaptation of Carousel, like its immediate predecessor Oklahoma!, boasted then state-of-the-art widescreen cinematography, stereophonic sound, a starring romantic duo with on-screen chemistry, and the Rodgers & Hammerstein imprimatur. Adding to its promise was a source (the venerable Ferenc Molnar play Liliom) that had already been filmed three times. Contributing to the lustre are the coastal Maine locations where 20th Century Fox filmed principal photography. Yet unlike the original Broadway production, and despite evident craft, Carousel proved a box-office disappointment. Why? Hindsight argues that movie-goers of the 1950s may have been unprepared for its tragic narrative, the sometimes unsympathetic protagonist, and a spiritual subtext addressing life after death.

Whatever the obstacle, Carousel may well be a revelation to first-time viewers. The score is among the composers’ most affecting, from the glorious instrumental “Carousel Waltz” to a succession of exquisite love songs (”If I Loved You”), a heart-rending secular hymn (”You’ll Never Walk Alone”), and the expectant father’s poignant reverie, “Soliloquy”. Top-line stars Shirley Jones (as factory worker Julie Jordan) and Gordon MacRae (as Billy Bigelow, the carnival barker who woos and weds her) achieve greater dramatic urgency here than in the more successful Oklahoma!. MacRae in particular attains a personal best as the conflicted Billy, whose anxiety and wounded pride after losing his job are crucial to the plot. It’s Billy’s impatience to support his new family that drives him to an ill-fated decision, which transforms the fable into a ghost story. –Sam Sutherland, Amazon.com

Customer Review: Well worth going to the Carousel
Regarded by many as the best Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, it still manages to pack a punch after all these years. Most people will probably already be familiar with the hymn-like standard ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, but there are plenty of other gems here that are worth tuning in for. Fans of Frank Sinatra may recognise Billy’s ‘Soliloquy’. The scene on the beach where Gordon McRae belts it out is now a movie musicals’ classic. My personal favourite is the beautifully tender duet ‘If I Loved You’, a song so loaded with the promise of romance and deeply felt regret all at the same time - surely (or Shirley??) one of the best love songs in any Broadway repertoire.

Another of the musical’s high points comes with the opening ‘Carousel Waltz’ itself, an instrumental piece that perfectly captures the very mood of a funfair and is probably one of Rodgers’ finest compositions. It won’t leave your head for days!

While the camerawork may look a bit dated now, the story is still relevant and quite moving. Both of the leads (Gordon McRae and Shirley Jones) are well cast and the singing is excellent. Exquisite stuff indeed.

Customer Review: A Timeless Musical Masterpiece
Undoubtedly the most touching and beautifully written of Rogers and Hammerstein's movie-musicals, this film is in turns lightheartedly funny and tear-jerkingly sad. Featuring classic songs “June is Busting Out All Over”, “If I Loved You” and “You'll Never Walk Alone” and the undisputed talent of Shirley Jones and Gordon McRae, this film will leave you with tears streaming down your face long after the credits.
