Well, I did it. I'd watched every episode of the show, but never spent the 24 minutes of my time to watch Dimensions in Time. The plot? Nonsense. The Rani is the villain and she has created some time-loop where the Doctor and Ace keep flipping between 1973, 1993, and 2013. Even more distressing: nothing appears to change in the East End over those forty years. Every few seconds the Doctor and the companion change. At one point both Peri and Nyssa are there together. So often we have the footage of what all the classic series actors looked like on the show, then have no photos of them for twenty years or so until they pop back up again. So seeing a lot of them in this 'in-between' age was a little weird. Susan is back with Colin Baker for half a second. The Brigadier appears on a helicopter. Lalla Ward is here with short hair as Romana for less than a minute. It's just chaos. The only good thing about it is that we get all these different alumni back for split seconds. Supposedly EastEnders people are in this. There was a vote to determine which minor character would help the Doctor and I think I know when it happened, but I'm really not sure. Look how far we've come people, look how far we've come. Guardax View profile Like Liked 0 19 May 2025 · 25 words Review by EBP I marked out when K9 showed up. Totally 90s camp, and a blast to watch - those Troughton and Hartnell renders are egregious, though. Yikes!
