Day 510: City of Death Part 1

The last story had three somewhat opposing views as to how the story should be produced. The same cannot be said for City of Death, which stands out as one of the most lovely Doctor Who stories of all time. It's written by Douglas Adams, working from a script by David Fisher. Both writers are some of the lighter writers that we have encountered on the series, with Fisher writing the adventurous romp that was 'The Androids of Tara' and Adams the joke filled 'The Pirate Planet'. The script is filled with wit which we shall definitely look at in more detail tomorrow. The script is also edited by Graham Williams, who provides a guiding hand to Adams, ensuring that it doesn't get too carried away with itself and that it keeps track of the story that is trying to be told. And there's more too. The direction and music, which we shall look at in further detail over the next few days, is well done, and there are other little moments that will shine throughout the story. But for now, it's sometimes best to appreciate the bouquet of this story.
