VIDEO-WATCHING: Brian J. Robb with the latest and the greatest in video

FIRST SCREENED in the wake of the Kennedy assassination, Doctor Who still has amazing staying power.

BBC Video have released a vast number of intergalactic adventures on home video, featuring all seven faces of the enigmatic Timelord, as well as an array of classic tea-time monsters. The first Doctor was William Hartnell. At first BBC Video were rather reluctant to release any of these creaky black and white episodes, fearing they wouldn't sell nearly as well as the all-colour exploits of most popular Doc, Tom Baker. Despite these misgivings, the release of tapes like The Daleks proved runaway best-sellers. Other classic Hartnell stories on video are the very first episodes, [[broadwcast:An Unearthly Child|An Unearthly Child]], historical adventure with [[broadwcast:The Aztecs|The Aztecs]], and the return of the pepper-pot aliens in [[broadwcast:The Dalek Invasion of Earth|The Dalek Invasion of Earth]]. Second Doctor Patrick Troughton hasn't fared so well on home video release. In a crazy move during the Seventies, the BBC wiped many of the original episodes, not realising what an asset archive television was to become. Of the Troughton tales released, [[broadwcast:The Mind Robber|The Mind Robber]] is a surreal classic which sees the Doctor doing battle with the likes of Cyrano de Bergerac!

Jon Pertwee was the third Doctor and the first to be transmitted in colour episodes, many of which (including two Dalek adventures) are now available. Tom Baker is the Doctor everyone remembers and his seven years in the part have left BBC Video with a vast range of stories. This month sees his first ever adventure, [[broadwcast:Robot|Robot]] (from 1974), out on video.

All tapes retail at £10.99. NEW THIS MONTH FROM BBC VIDEO:

Dr Who: Robot (BBCV4714, 99 minutes).

Dr Who: [[broadwcast:The Caves of Androzani|The Caves of Androzani]] (BBCV4713, 101 minutes).
