Review of Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time (1993) by Amy W — 23 Dec 2007
Frankly bizarre bit of kitsch nonsense. At the time, to fans expecting a full-length anniversary adventure, this felt like a kick in the teeth, but with 14 years distance and the good Doctor's dignity restored thanks to being the most successful non-soap drama on BBC1, one can be a little more charitable and judge it no more or less than the frivolous bit of fluff it is.
Basically an excuse to bring together as many Doctors and companions as possible, and worth it to see the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker) onscreen with the Brigadier (Nicholas Courtney). Because of the circumstances surrounding organising this charity special and never likel to appear on DVD, this one-off is likely to remain a curio, visible only to those prepared to go onto YouTube and witness it firsthand.
"Time Crash" it ain't. and it makes "The Five Doctors" look like an epic, it's really just a disposable bit of fluff, and a bit of a guilty pleasure.
