Dr Who, BBC 1's long-running science-fiction tale, seems season to be losing out in those ITV areas crafty enough to The Man from Atlantis against the doctor and Leela, his savage beauty oppo. While Baker's Who and Louise Jameson's Leela are fighting somewhere out in space in the AD 5000, the dolphin-skin underwater breathing chap from Atlantis has captured imagination of the children in this American television adventure series. London Weekend does not screen The Man from Atlantis until after Dr Who, but Granada and ATV have the web-fingered hero in direct opposition to the BBC's famous and highly successful space traveller. | Dr Who, BBC 1's long-running science-fiction tale, seems season to be losing out in those ITV areas crafty enough to The Man from Atlantis against the doctor and Leela, his savage beauty oppo.

There is a satiric note, however. Leela cannot be put under the influence. She is too savage. "All instinct an intuition", the Doctor explained. Perhaps she is not a bow to the Women's Movement after all; maybe the leggy Leela is there for the dads and more earthy 14-year-olds, rather like those appalling rhythmic girls who practise dancing each week on Top of the Pops. Of course the return of the Daleks is all Dr Who needs; what the Top of the Pops dancers need is something else, but that is neither here nor there. | There is a satiric note, however.
