Doctor Who (1963) 19.04.X2

Grim Tales: Revisiting the Visitation (2013)
45 minutes

Mark Strickson takes Peter Davison, Janet Fielding, and Sarah Sutton around some of the locations where the Visitation was filmed. He asks them about their memories of working on this story and some of the people with whom they worked. Insterspersed with the friendly reminiscing are clips from interviews with a few other people who worked also on The Visitation.

The subjects they talked about included
  • filming at Black Park and Tithecoat Manor
  • who started the Great Fire?
  • the Terileptil costume
  • working with Michael Robbins and Peter Moffatt

The other people who appear in this feature include
  • Eric Saward, writer
  • Ken Starkey, designer
  • Michael Melia, Terileptil leader
  • Carolyn Perry, make-up
  • Odile Dicks-Mireaux, costume designer
  • Peter Van Dissel, Android

This was a bit of a mixed bag. It is the making of and a look back feature but there wasn't enough of either to satisfy me. I like it when they drop information (in the extras) about the making of the story or what it was like on set. I didn't feel like I got much of either this time around.
