The Doctor Who that should never have been

A Listmania! list by "generalcolumbo"
 
Doctor Who - the Ark [VHS]
1.  Doctor Who - the Ark [VHS] VHS William Hartnell
The list author says:
  "One of the most ludicrous endings to any story - an invisible alien turns up to sort out the problems between the humans and the monoids! There wasn't really much point of the Doctor being there."
Used & New from: £1.20
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (23 customer reviews)

Doctor Who - Seeds of Death [VHS]
2.  Doctor Who - Seeds of Death [VHS] VHS Patrick Troughton
The list author says:
  "More dull than bad. The script is sound, but it shuffles along at a snail's pace. None of the cast seems to be trying too hard and even Troughton seems uninterested in his lines."
£10.96   Used & New from: £1.50
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)

Doctor Who - the Master Tin Set (2 Video Set in Tin) [VHS]
3.  Doctor Who - the Master Tin Set (2 Video Set in Tin) [VHS] VHS Doctor Who
The list author says:
  "Colony in Space - great until the master turns up for no good reason. A standard colonist v. natives saga, poorly designed, with no really interesting developments in the script."
Used & New from: £3.70
3.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (6 customer reviews)

Dr Who - The Mutants [VHS] [1972]
4.  Dr Who - The Mutants [VHS] [1972] VHS Jon Pertwee
The list author says:
  "Another convenient ending - a godlike being comes to help everyone out. Bad acting all round (especially Rick James as Cotton), and the ending to episode four is the worst in the series."
Used & New from: £2.10
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews)

Doctor Who: Revenge of the Cybermen [VHS] [1963]
5.  Doctor Who: Revenge of the Cybermen [VHS] [1963] VHS Tom Baker
The list author says:
  "The title sort of sums up the problem with this story. Cybermen don't have emotions but show signs of pride, anger, amusement, betrayal, and of course revenge. A massive bundle of contradiction."
£15.48   Used & New from: £2.00
3.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (12 customer reviews)

Doctor Who - the Creature from the Pit [VHS]
6.  Doctor Who - the Creature from the Pit [VHS] VHS Tom Baker
The list author says:
  "Widely regarded as the worst story in the series history, it's dull and filled with lots of overacting. The creature itself is a design nightmare that should have never been attempted."
£4.99   Used & New from: £2.89
3.5 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (27 customer reviews)

Doctor Who - Time-Flight [1982] [VHS] [1963]
7.  Doctor Who - Time-Flight [1982] [VHS] [1963] VHS Peter Davison
The list author says:
  "The guy who let this script get in to production should be shot for war crimes. Concord gets pulled back in time by the Master, who for some reason has disguised himself as an 'Arab' (?!)."
£7.47   Used & New from: £2.68
3.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

Doctor Who: The Twin Dilemma [VHS]
8.  Doctor Who: The Twin Dilemma [VHS] VHS Colin Baker
The list author says:
  "Just silly. The plot is actually quite good, but its been padded out into four episodes when it can barely fill two. The design wouldn't look out of place in a third doctor story."
£14.99   Used & New from: £1.76
3.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (3 customer reviews)

Doctor Who - Timelash [VHS]
9.  Doctor Who - Timelash [VHS] VHS Doctor Who
The list author says:
  "It's no where near as bad as everyone says, but it has a rushed feel to it. Unfortunately it has two endings, neither of which are particularly good. The Timelash itself is stuffed with tinsel!"
£14.99   Used & New from: £1.60
3.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (56 customer reviews)

Doctor Who - Time and the Rani [VHS]
10.  Doctor Who - Time and the Rani [VHS] VHS Doctor Who
The list author says:
  "A lot of hate is directed at the 24th season of Doctor Who, but I think most is generated by this travesty. The whole thing looks, feels and sounds silly and still has me yawning some ten years on."
£4.49   Used & New from: £1.53
3.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (50 customer reviews)

Dr Who-Shada [VHS]
11.  Dr Who-Shada [VHS] VHS Tom Baker
The list author says:
  "A special mention to the story that really never was. Unfortunately the script and what was filmed doesn’t inspire much confidence. Still, it’s not as bad as ‘The Creature from the Pit’."
Used & New from: £29.99
4.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (2 customer reviews)
