I'M NOT sure whether Dr Who has travelled forward or back in time in his latest adventure "Frontier in Space" (BBC 1, Saturday).
Admittedly, episode one saw his time machine aboard a space freighter the 26th century—but if I remember my Flash Gordon comics correctly, the crew's uniforms were straight out of 1950s science fiction.
Those Elizabethan collars, those huge bulges on their forearms what wardrobe mistress be thinking of? I've seen more convincing space guns in my local sweetie shop and the interior of the ship was, hardly up to the standard we've come to expect from this series.
The point is, a lot of adults—not to say sophisticated kids—tune in to "Dr Who". And it's really up to the design hoys to see that the environment is as convincingly outlandish Jon Pertwee himself.
