DOCTOR WHO: THE SPACE GULAG (BBC) £13.99
Thought lost for decades, this 1966 five-parter has been painstakingly assembled using off-air recordings, audio clips, digital animation, and state-of-the-art computer software . Blimey. Imagine if people husbanded all that energy towards something worthwhile, eh? Anyway, it's torment to sit through as usual, as the Doctor (Patrick Troughton) and his companions Victoriana and N'boto investigate a space penal colony where something seems to have gone wrong (in a storyline that bears a remarkable resemblance to a quite well-known US sci-fi novel published some years before.) Featuring Jane Asher, Don Warrington, and a visibly embarrassed Keith Barron as Senator Krill.
