Doctor Who: The Creature From the Pit

One of the most popular shows in British TV history, this long-running, shoestring-budgeted sci-fi saga followed the exploits of "the Doctor," a maverick scientist and adventurer who traversed space and time in the TARDIS, a high-tech craft disguised (well, stuck, actually) as a London police box. William Hartnell, Patrick Troughton, Jon Pertwee, Tom Baker, Peter Davison, Colin Baker, and Sylvester McCoy starred as the various eccentric incarnations of the Doctor during the series's initial 1963-1989 run. Landing on the jungle planet Chloris, the Doctor (Tom Baker), Romana, and K-9 fall prey to evil ruler Lady Adrasta, who seeks to control the world's only metal mine. 96 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
