A low-budget sci-fi spoof, the BBC's "Doctor Who" is relatively harmless and entirely non-compelling. Time-Life now has 98 episodes in firstrun syndication, and the shows make inoffensive filler, though there's no reason to expect them to generate a great deal of excitement.

Tom Baker is engaging as the title character, and the plotting is too silly to detail. A fair amount of mad-scientist, amok-robot fun is had, however.
