“#’Doctor Who’ new animated special based on 1968 episode<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Sentient, parasitic seaweed is on the loose in \u201cFury From the Deep,\u201d a newly-animated special based on a six-episode arc from the BBC\u2019s classic series<\/a> \u201cDoctor Who.\u201d<\/p>\n

The original live-action version of \u201cFury from the Deep\u201d aired in 1968 and starred Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor<\/a>. This animated series is the latest in the BBC\u2019s impressive resurrection of \u201cWho\u201d episodes lost to the network\u2019s old practice of erasing videotapes after the shows first aired.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Australian censors cut clips from the the original \u201cFury From the Deep\u201d episodes and held onto them, providing minor surviving video footage; a complete audio recording exists, which made it possible to animate the entire thing.<\/p>\n

In the episodes, the Doctor and his companions Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Victoria (Deborah Watling) touch down at an ocean-based natural-gas refinery that\u2019s having strange problems \u2014 particularly with what sounds like a heartbeat coming from the underwater pipes. \u201cWho\u201d has always loved the scenario of a sinister invasion at an industrial base. More broadly, all the elements of a good sci-fi thriller are here: the initial, ominous glimpses of a metastasizing monster; the domineering boss, Robson (Victor Maddern) who refuses to accept that anything out of the ordinary is happ<\/a>ening; and the poor souls overtaken before anyone else notices the crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the latter case that provides one of the scenes the Aussies deemed too much for viewers. In it, jump-suited lackeys named Mr. Oak (John Gill) and Mr. Quill (Bill Burridge), zombified by the villainous weed, attack a scientist\u2019s wife (June Murphy) by breathing a toxic gas at her. The original clip<\/a> is genuinely unsettling, especially Burridge, whose gaping, bug-eyed face wouldn\u2019t be out of place on Creepypasta<\/a>. The animated Oak and Quill are more like Scooby-Doo baddies.<\/p>\n

If you are, like me, not well-versed in the oldest Doctors, this is a fun primer; \u201cWho\u201d completists will surely enjoy seeing Troughton come to life in the miniseries\u2019 retro animation style. In this early incarnation, the Doctor is less commanding and eccentric than he \u2014 and she \u2014 would become, but there are glimpses of the character\u2019s mischievous streak as he assures a worried Victoria that getting into life-threatening scrapes is \u201cthe spice of life\u201d and tries his hand at flying a helicopter. The enduring, all-purpose sonic screwdriver apparently makes its first appearance here, too; the Doctor uses it to, well, unscrew screws. But with sound waves!<\/p>\n

This series also features a plaintive question that\u2019ll be posed by other companions down the line: \u201cWhy can\u2019t we go anywhere pleasant?\u201d Watling\u2019s Victoria, who keeps getting shunted off into side rooms by the men when she\u2019s not shrieking helplessly in the face of danger, seems like she\u2019s got a fair point. It\u2019s also noted, and not for the last time, that given the availability of all of time and space, it\u2019s funny how often the Doctor\u2019s TARDIS seems to end up in current-day England.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cFury From the Deep\u201d can get a little bogged down in repetitive, time-padding dialogue. I lost count of how many times Robson yells at his underlings and the Doctor that he\u2019s in charge and business must go on as usual. Once it gets cooking, though, the serial embraces a great campy vibe, and the animation allows for a more visually dramatic final act. I felt a little pang for the trappings of vintage live-action \u201cWho\u201d \u2014 all those wobbly creatures made with tinfoil and wire \u2014 but it\u2019s an enjoyable time (and space) capsule all the same.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
