Doctor Who: The Trial

About This Movie

So, 'Doctor Who: The Trial' brings back Colin Baker, and it’s quite an interesting ride. You really get this playful tone that mixes comedy with sci-fi elements. The pacing is a bit quirky, typical for Doctor Who, and it has those signature practical effects that remind you of classic episodes. The courtroom setting adds a layer of absurdity to the narrative, with Baker’s performance really standing out—his energy is contagious. It explores themes of justice and identity in a way that feels fresh yet familiar. Overall, it’s a distinct piece in the Doctor Who tapestry, especially leading up to the release of Season 23 in the Collection lineup. Definitely has its own charm.
