Doctor Who An Adventure In Space And Time: 5 Things We Are Excited To See Again
4. The Web Planet
Yet another milestone in Doctor Who history that is going to be featured thanks to a tweet from a crew-member. The Web Planet is met with both derision and affection in equal measure by long term fans. It is possibly one of the shoddiest productions, only in contrast to its ambition. Yet it is a landmark story, featuring no humanoid characters other than its main cast, giant ants and moths and a lot of special effects requirements.
If it werent for this story we wouldnt have the Doctor Who Monster as before that the series was never about the monsters. The Web Planet is always regarded with a certain nostalgia by both sides of the fan community, the same community that is eager for the Menoptera and Zarbi to return but realistically that isnt going to happen. This may be the closest we get and Ill take that. With the costumes in existence who knows, we may get a small cameo at some point, it is a co production with BBC Wales after all, they have a share. But most importantly the scenes in the drama will be produced with authenticity and even if they try to look cheap, I dont think they can make it look that cheap even if they tried, because theyll have spent so much money on it.
