Book Reviews of Doctor Who: The Web of Fear
Book Review: Relive this atmospheric template for future Doctor Who
Summary: 5 Stars
As with the other recent releases, this is a superb, surprisingly high quality soundtrack of a story that has become deservedly mythical. In my view, it contains the first meld of the elements of that became traditional Doctor Who storytelling: claustrophobic, familiar 'contemporary' setting: the London Underground juxtaposed with bizarre and 'frightening' elements, bordering on the surreal: the Yeti of myth. Monsters, suspense, action and humour: this story has it all with excellent performances all round, particularly from Patrick Troughton. The soundtrack is crystal clear and perfectly complemented by easy to follow, through unobtrusive narration by Frazer Hines which does not allow any 'visual' sequences to drag on audio. The first appearance of Nicholas Courtney as the (to become much-loved) Lethbridge Stewart makes this a milestone. Interestingly, here he is a far more intelligent, well-realised man with real leadership qualities rather than a military buffoon: hear the scene where he is the only person to believe in the TARDIS on hearing of it for the first time! A forward, open-minded military thinker! An excellent, atmospheric story with moments of humour and suspense. What a pity we can't see it but this is the next best thing.
