A Review by Stuart Gutteridge 2/12/02

"If you fluffed, but the take was technically OK, they`d let it pass. I learnt to say a four letter word as soon as I`d done something like that so they couldn`t buy that take."
There are two problems with this Myth Makers, the first being that only one of the locations bears any resemblance used for Caroline`s time on the programme; a gas works is all very well, but uninspiring given that she herself didn`t actually film there! The second problem is that the length of the tape doesn`t justify the amount of time given to Doctor Who, this could easily have been trimmed down to 40 minutes. Not that anything Caroline John has to say is uninteresting, indeed it concentrates heavily on her theatre career, but for a tenure spanning just 4 stories (plus a cameo in The Five Doctors), there is only so much that can be said.
