The Doctor plays Criket! Need I say more?November 17, 2008 Doctor Who - Black Orchid (Episode 121) This is a rare short and historical episode of the long-running British Science Fiction TV show. The ability of this show to remain relevant over the roughly thirty years during in original run. An episode of mystery and intrigue, it bears a lot of resemblance to the episode "The Wasp and the Unicorn" (minus the giant wasps) in the revived series.
As a historical episode, it lacks many of the things that made the original series great, but after a few viewings, you begin to see it as a work of genius.
People are dying in a English country manor. The most stunning decoration in the manor is a flower, a rare black orchid from which the story draws its name. The Doctor, mistaken for someone else becomes a guest at the manor for a costume ball. The story shows the Doctor at his best, solving the mystery through the use of observation and intellect. In the end, the Doctor reveals the answer to the mystery, and everybody leaves, having grown a little bit.
A distilled, simplified Doctor WhoNovember 13, 2008 ...with no monsters and just about the shortest length ever. It's a great historical romp with everyone getting to do something. The fifth doctor looks good here, and that's always a thrill with so many dodgy episodes out there.
AN INTERESTING TWO-PART "WHO" ADVENTURE.October 2, 2008 "Black Orchid," a two-part adventure from Peter Davison's first season as the Doctor, is the first true "historical" adventure since the 1960's. By "historical," this means no aliens or monsters in an historical setting. While the serial does have some chills, and stellar performances from Davison and a terrific cast, the writing is a bit sub-par, and the tension cannot be felt throughout the entire two episodes. Still, "Who" fans will find much to appreciate with "Black Orchid." Program/DVD Grade: B+
Dr. Who Black OrchidSeptember 27, 2008 Doctor Who - Black Orchid (Episode 121) Typical Dr. Who from Peter Davison. The shortest episode that I can think of. As usual, well acted and very good location.
It's still Who!!September 11, 2008 Yes there are no monsters. But who cares!! Doctor Who used to do historical episodes, and this seems to be an attempt by John Nathan Turner to bring back the historical episodes(that and most likely to save money, as the budget for this show was ridiculously LOW!). The episode is a lot of fun, despite it being a tad cliched. What is especially nice is to see the comaraderie between the tardis crew which was lacking in many of this Doctor's episodes, since everyone in the crew seemed to always be at each others throats. The sets are splendid, and the plot is engaging. It is a good Davison episode, and his charm shines through. Definitely worth a watch
