'Radio Times' TV Review of 2021


That venerable publishing colossus, Christmas perennial, and loyal Doctor Who supporter, the Radio Times, has revealed the results of their annual multi-channel survey. Their top fifty shows of the year have been elected by the magazine's TV critics, and Jodie Whittaker's long-awaited third season has been placed at a respectable number forty-four. RT  writer Huw Fullerton comments:

Whittaker’s final full Doctor Who series also proved to be her best, providing the Thirteenth Doctor with a pacy, action-packed adventure full of great cliffhangers, big twists and an all-time great episode in Chris Chibnall and Maxine Alderton’s Village of the Angels.

As the Doctor tracked down the Division, battled Swarm and Azure and tried to hold back the Flux over the course of six interlinked episodes, fans were on the edge of their seats and trying to solve every mystery.

Who were the Mouri? What were Vinder and Bel’s backstories? How did UNIT change, and what did any of it have to do with the absent Time Lords? There was so much going on, it was a surprise they managed to wrap everything up as neatly as they did in the finale.

It wasn’t a perfect series – there were a lot of underdeveloped characters, bizarre plot moves and some strange storytelling decisions – but in the face of COVID disaster, the Who team pulled

off a miracle by creating the pandemic-proof Doctor Who: Flux. Frankly, it’s a rescue the Doctor would’ve been proud of herself.

Doctor Who Vs. Bert & Dickie

This BBC1 film originally aired amid
 the buzz of the London Olympics in
 the summer of 2012, and told the
true story of two Britsh rowers,
thrown together just five weeks
before London's 'Austerity' games
of 1948.
Matt Smith and Sam Hoare port-
rayed the eventual double sculls
gold medallists, Bert Bushell (1921-
2010), and Richard Burnell (1917-
1995). The BBC News site released
a short interview with Smith on his
new role: "Billy's [William Ivory]
writing intersted me. There is
something heroic and victorious
about that story. I'd never got in
a boat before, so that was a
daunting but exciting challenge.
You learn that your body is just
a mechanism, and rowing isn't about pulling, it's about force [and]
pushing. I keep fit [on] Dr. Whbut there are many levels of fit. If you watch any rowing final, you see the physical agony they're in after-
wards, it's like they've been hit over the head. Every ounce of your
body, every muscle is used, it's incredible." The drama was repeated
on Drama today - it featured fifteen other Doctor Who cast and crew

Doctor Who Vs. Quatermass IV

Mills (1908-2005)
succeeded Reginald
Tate, Brian Donlevy,
John Robinson, AndrĂ©
Morell and Andrew
Keir in the seminal
role
After an absence of twenty years, Professor
Bernard Quatermass (now portrayed by Sir
John Mills) returned to British television in
late 1979. Plans for a fourth Quatermass
thriller were first proposed when BBC2
launched the Out of the Unknown sci-fi
anthology strand in 1965. Then, following
 the success of Hammer's film version of
Quatermass and the Pit in 1967, the studio
announced it was in talks with series creator
Nigel Kneale. A new BBC serial was finally
 commissioned in 1972, but was abandoned
due to mounting production costs. Four years
later, Euston Films acquired the unmade
scripts, and the new drama was eventually
shown episodically on ITV, then as a TV movie
(entitled The Quatermass Conclusion) outside
the UK.
Another repeat run of Thames TV's four-part
sequel (produced by Verity Lambert) con-
cluded on the Talking Pictures TV channel

Doctor Who Vs. The Odessa File

Based on the 1972 novel by espionage writer 
Frederick Forsyth, this thriller told the story of 
journalist Peter Miller's (played by Jon Voight) 
investigation into Holocaust survivor, Solomon
Tauber and the subsequent search for the top
secret Odessa file.
Towards the end of the Second World War,
the Nazi secret society ODESSA was formed
 by members of the SS, among them Eduard 
Roschmann (portrayed here by Maximillian 
Schell), the butcher of Riga concentration 
camp. In 1963, President Nasser of Egypt 
sought to perfect a missile strike to destroy
Israel. His key scientists were mainly 
recruited from Hitler's former rocket
program and Odessa members still intent
on wiping out the Jews.
Released by Columbia in 1974, this Anglo-German film was shown
on TCM tonight - it featured Yorkshire-born actress Mary Tamm
(1950-2012), Derek Jacobi, and two other Doctor Who cast
connections:
  • Peter Jeffrey (Porath) and Cyril Shaps (Voice of Tauber) both starred opposite Tamm in The Androids of Tara, as Count Grendel and the Archimandrite - Jeffrey was also the Pilot in The Macra Terror, whilst Shaps was also John Viner in The Tomb of the Cybermen, Dr. Lennox in The Ambassadors of Death, and Professor Herbert Clegg in Planet of the Spiders

Doctor Who Vs. V For Vendetta

People should not be
afraid of their govern-
ments. Governments
should be afraid of their
people.

Based on Alan Moore's cult
graphic novel, this British 
fantasy thriller (from the 
makers of The Matrix) was
shown on TCM last night.
Warner Bros' UK cinematic
 release was originally
scheduled for November
2005 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot,
which inspired the main character here, the titular 'V'.
Set in a futuristic, dystopian Britian ruled by a totalitarian regime,
Evey Hammond (played by Natalie Portman) is rescued from the
secret police - the corrupt Fingermen - by a ruthless freedom
fighter in a stylised Guy Fawkes mask, known only as V (port-
rayed by Hugo Weaving).
V For Vendetta illustrator David Lloyd later stated that the "Guy
Fawkes mask has now become a brand and placard to protest 
against tyranny, [its] an icon of popular culture" (and has since
 been adopted by the Anonymous activist group).
The film also starred John Hurt (as the Big Brother-like leader
of the fascist Norsefire Party, Chancellor Sutler), Stephen Rea,
Roger Allam, Ben Miles, Eddie Marsan, and twenty-four Doctor
