Review of Doctor Who: Planet of the Spiders (1974) by Callum B — 26 Aug 2014
One thing that sets the final stories for the Doctor actors of the past from the final stories of NuWho is that back then, a final story didn't require overly loud and bombastic orchestral music and weepy final moments from the soon-to-be-dead Doctor, that said that didn't make the stories any better, and here it showed.
The idea is magnificently terrifying. A planet of spiders. But why do they look so... Fake and skinny? I'm terrified of spiders and these didn't creep me out. Apparently they objected from using blown-up tarantula image projections because it would have scared kids.
Um, isn't that why kids watch this show? And the story honestly is quite weak and Sarah Jane doesn't do much.
