Review of The Gunfighters by dema1020
4 June 2024
It isn't the most engrossing story but a fun enough take on the historical. Sure, that music can get a little repetitive, but it is part of the charm of The Gunfighters. This isn't really a story that demands it be taken seriously so I think the repeated refrains around the Last Chance Saloon are within the scope of the tone these episodes take. I find our TARDIS crew is pretty well used, while a number of guest actors like Anthony Jacobs and Sheena Marshe help elevate the material for me a bit.
I do like how invested in historical eras our First Doctor era characters get and the somewhat dorky tone that feels very of its time and the sort of content being produced in the 60s. Not bad but certainly not something I'm keen on revisiting any time soon, either.
