Season
15@40 There it sits,
unloved, at the foot of many a fan poll almost from the moment it was shown. It
came bottom of the Doctor Who Appreciation Society series vote in 1978 and has
remained rooted nearby ever since. With `Underworld` there is no
leeway. It’s hardly even Marmite; in this case nobody likes it. So, why is
this? Has anybody in fact really watched it? Well, I did. And do you
know what? It’s the best Doctor Who
story ever. Ok, I’m exaggerating but
it is certainly not the disaster it is often described as. I think this may be
the first time I’ve actually watched it properly because I saw things I’d not
noticed before.
