"Nicola Bryant: In the Footsteps of the Two Doctors" DVD
I’ve just watched this and it’s a lovely little companion piece to the Two Doctors DVD. It actually would have made a great extra feature on the Beeb’s 2-disc set, but never mind.
Filmed a couple of years ago, the DVD features the lovely Nicola and a group of lucky fans dashing around Seville and the surrounding countryside, searching for and finding the locations where the programme was shot, 21 years previously. She clearly has a great time and it’s infectious. She shares a few anecdotes along the way, but mostly this piece feels like watching someone’s holiday video.
Aside from the main feature, there are a nice set of interviews with Nicola, Colin Baker and Frazer Hines, and there’s some cracking juicy stuff in here. It’s mostly about the Two Doctors of course, but strays over into general Who stuff, and there’s an insight into Colin’s thoughts on his work for Big Finish and what he thinks of Tennant’s Doctor. There’s quite a lot of stuff that’s been covered elsewhere, but there are quite a few things that I’d not heard before (John Nathan Turner solving the problem of which Doctor should have the biggest hotel room by taking it for himself for instance), and it’s always a delight to see and hear Nicola talking about anything, so I’m not complaining!
So, not essential, but definitely worth a look for fans of Nicola and/or Colin Baker.
And as you can see from these caps, Nicola is as gorgeous as ever in it! :)
