    1978 Time Life Doctor Who Catalog



    In the late 1970s a British Phenomen made it's way stateside via syndicated package from Time Life, originally offering the first seasons of Fourth Doctor Tom Baker and the rest is cult TV history.

    This beautiful piece not only has to sell the long running series to an American market but also explain it, which actually was a bit of a chore in 1978.



    The Doctor's American invasion built steadily over time until today when the series has become something of a household world in North America.

      Ditto and DITTO...

      A much-welcomed, witty, smart alternative to a genre that was very quickly desolving into gargantuan-budgeted, Star Wars-wannabees..

      It seemed to break all the rules of special effects (bad blue screens, laser beams not lined up with the laser gun barrels..) and your typical scifi show formulas, and we LOVED it..

        Note that the material calls the effects great. I get annoyed when potential viewers discount the original series for bad special effects--the whole point of the show was good writing and characterization carrying the story, and I loved it.

          The effects of 70's who were state of the art for TV of it's time. It's only in an effects heavy story that they look poor (ie Invisible enemy or Underworld)
