So, 'Designing The Aztecs' is this interesting little featurette from 2002 where Barry Newbery, the production designer, shares his experiences from the 1964 'Doctor Who' story. It has this relaxed vibe, almost like you're just chatting with him over a cup of tea. The pacing is easygoing, allowing you to soak in his detailed anecdotes about the set design and creative choices. The atmosphere is warm, filled with nostalgia, and you can really feel the passion he had for bringing the Aztec world to life. The practical effects of the era and how they influenced the show's aesthetics are fascinating. It’s definitely a unique glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of classic British television.
'Designing The Aztecs' offers a rare look at a significant piece of Doctor Who history, with features that collectors appreciate. The DVD format makes it somewhat accessible, but you won't find it everywhere, which adds to its allure for dedicated fans. As a collector, it stands out for its focus on set design, an aspect often overlooked in larger discussions about the series. It's a nice addition to any Doctor Who collection, especially for those who value the craftsmanship behind the scenes.
