BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Doctor Who: Dimensions in Time" is a 13-minute live action short film from 1993, so this one will have its 25th anniversary next year. I think this was made for the Children in Need special, so the cause is certainly a honorable one, but the execution is kinda shoddy. I think the story was never interesting, but the specials from this franchise have done nothing for a long time now than randomly include older doctors and some science stuff, time travelling etc. I don't think these ones here are maybe as full of themselves as the new ones, but this does also not mean it was a good watch. effects were also kinda forgettable, even for the early 1990s. The quality of the antagonist I am still undecided on. As a whole, I am glad it was this short as even for a film under 15 minutes there aren't enough entertaining moments in here. The cast does not really offer any names known outside the Doctor Who universe. Anyway, I have never been a big fan of the franchise, so I may be a bit biased here I guess, but also it needs to be said that none of these special ever come close to getting me interested in checking out the series. I would only recommend this short film we have here to the very biggest Doctor Who fanboys/-girls.

Angus Gulliver Really, the only saving graces of this are that we got to see the five living Doctors on screen along with many past companions and 'monsters'. This could well be the last time we see certain characters, and was the last appearance of Jon Pertwee as the Doctor. Dimensions In Time was also John Nathan Turner's last Doctor Who production credit.Otherwise the plot is totally incomprehensible, we don't see inside the Tardis (the set had been destroyed), the cross-over with East Enders seems silly and the 3D process it was shot in was only mildly impressive. At the time it was nice to see Doctor Who back, but I cannot imagine this would have turned anybody onto the show at all.As it was a charity do it will never be released on DVD or repeated (that was a condition of its production) so you will only be able to see off-air VHS recordings. But truly it was an awful programme.

robertgerlach Yes, you saw my vote. I rated it 10 out of 10. The story was incomprehensible garbage for the epic length of 10 minutes of screen time.........but it had very charitable aims -- raising money for the children in need. Since the show was in limbo at this time, this was our 30th Anniversary Doctor Who story. With the exception of the 1997 New Zealand Commercials, this was the only time that Tom Baker reprised his role as the Fourth Doctor in costume in a Doctor Who story since "dying" in "Logopolis". (Come to think of it, this is Davison's & Colin Baker's only ON-SCREEN reprise of their incarnations in costume after they left the show.)Jon Pertwee makes a final bow as the Third Doctor.It would have made lots of money if it had been released on video (now DVD)but I can see why many agreed to do it on the condition that it wasn't repeated or released in any way.For the Doctor Who collector, I would recommend watching it for the historical significance. However, I would not recommend this as an introductory show for a potential Doctor Who fan.....

John Langbein (medrjel) Fortunately, I am one, but for anyone else, this program is horrid. The story is so contrived and confused, it's impossible to follow. Hence, Don't try. This was written for one of those charity fundraising specials, and is just a showcase to see all of the living Dr. Who stories one more time. The big plusses are:1) final Jon Pertwee performance as the Dr.2) First time Tom Baker agreed to reprise his role since he left after his 7 year stint (sorry, his 5 Doctor's appearance doesn't count - that was filmed during his stint as the Dr for the "lost" episode Shada).As a reunion, it's nice. I don't think anyone else will get it.
