Queston about Web Planet and Visitation

[johnmiic]

The Web Planet will definately give you the feeling this is a childrens show. That is not to say that's a bad thing or that it is a bad episode. I have not watched it in some years but it is very good. I find that the acting and staging is very geared towards a kid audience. It seems at times that the actors playing the alien race move in exaggerated ways and the way the aliens speak are somewhat simple. Web Planet tho is very bold in that it utilises very elaborite costumes and make-up to protray an insect race. I still recommend it. I think it's quite good.

The Visitation is also a pretty decent story. I don't think I've ever seen it start to finish tho.

Probably should clarify my reason for asking.

Rusputin's opened were Tower Records used to be here. They have both of these in the used section. They're less than retail but still enough to make me balk considering I haven't seen either one.

So I guess what I'm asking is are they worth buying at a slightly reduced price?

I like the Web Planet ........ but it is an acquired taste for the average Who person.

Basically, (without giving away details or plot) --- it almost feels like your watching an opera without music....

But, like I said, it is an acquired taste...

The Visitation:
A decent story.
I'd say, one of the better Peter Davison stories.
But, like almost all Davison stories, it does move a bit slow.

Both are good ones

Visitation is not bad as I recall, Aliens causing mischeif in the past is the main story with the highpoint (Lowpoint?) being the death of the sonic screwdriver.
Plus you get Arthur from On the Buses as a highwayman.


I like the Web Planet personally but it's very early, it's childrens program roots are showing. Still a lot of fun.

Are either of these either of these episodes, Web Planet or Visitation, pretty good?

I've never seen a story with the first Doctor although I get the impression those stories are kind of more for kids.

I haven't seen episodes with the 5th Doctor since I was a teenage. Don't remember much about them other than I didn't particularly care for him. But I have the Five Doctors and I like that alright.
