This is a six part Dr Who series which I watched on Instant Netflix
Classic Doctor Who. It originally aired in 1968 with David Troughton as
the Doctor and his companions Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy
Padbury.) Wendy looks pretty good in her one-piece psychedelic
coverall. This show is based on the premise that they have entered a
world of imagination. We meet Gulliver and Rapunzel and a super hero
type person. The Master is a large brain. The Controller is someone
kidnapped from Earth many years before, who is a writer. He however has
gotten old and needs to be replaced. The Doctor never gets old, and is
the perfect choice for a replacement. The Doctor's companions get
sucked into the story, and become fictional characters, and The Doctor
is coerced with their freedom to take over as The Controller. He is
tricked into becoming part of the brain. Using his control over The
Brain, he is able to set his companion free, but not himself. However
his companions overload the computer.
This show has some pretty tense action, but all the same, Zoe screaming
at every little thing does not help. Nor does the spit in the corner of
the mouth of The Controller in episode five, which fortunately
disappears for episode six. It was very distracted.
