2. Its Been Done Before, And Really Really Badly
Go up to a Classic Who fan and ask them about a little thing called Dimensions in Time. Proceed to watch them retch. You can even look it up on YouTube if you can stomach it. It was nonsensical and bordered on plotless. Cameos happened for no apparent reason, someone decided it was a good idea to have the show crossover with soap
EastEnders and McCoy reportedly suffered a nervous breakdown on set from the sheer absurdity of it all. And you know what the main selling point of it was? Yup, it was a
3D anniversary celebration of the show. Sound familiar? Yeah, its way too on the nose for us. Several ideas were considered for this outing and all of them sounded better than this nonsense. One had Expanded Universe darling Bernice Summerfield making her first televised appearance, another had the Seventh Doctor traveling through time to save his past selves from certain death. Instead, Tom Baker phones in a minute long warning as Doctors and Companions inexplicably transform into one another while soap stars gawk in awe. Oh, and want to know how the 3D was used? To show that the villainous Rani had captured two of the Doctors already, wax heads of Hartnell and Troughton flew past the screen and straight for the viewers. Someone must have suffered from uncanny valley nightmares after that.
