Heres James review of The Sun Makers…
Doctor Whowas a contradiction in 1977.
On the surface, it appeared to all and sundry that the show was in rude health.
Scratch the surface, however, and the reality was far less rosy.
To this end, the BBC shuffled the behind-the-scenes team around, replacing producer Philip Hinchcliffe with Graham Williams.
Is that assessment fair?
Not helping matters is the fact that behind the camera is director Pennant Roberts.
This aids the story hugely.
Equally good is Louise Jameson as Savateem warrior, Leela.
This second installment follows his contributions throughout the 1970s up until his departure from the show in 1980.
