The Airzone Solution (1993 Video)
8/10
Not another Mock-tor who

Warning: Spoilers
The Airzone Solution is a micro budget thriller aimed at fans of the classic Doctor Who, but asides from the cast which features four former Doctors and one former assistant it bares very little resemblance to the time traveler. Colin Baker, is cuddly comic weather man who is getting slowly drawn into a huge conspiracy plot - along the way Sylvester McCoy tags along to help him, Peter Davidson gets killed and reappears as a ghost and Jon Pertwee lurks in shadows in his trademark natty attire.

BBV, the company that made this film, have made many productions featuring former Doctor Who cast members in very similar rolls to what they where playing on television, but with their character names changed for legal reasons. This production is a step away from their doctor who-a-likes, or Mock-tor Whos as I like call them, and is a genuinely exciting thriller that just so happens to have four former Doctors in it.

The cast don't let the low budget nature of the film get in the way, or effect their performances, all four of the former Doctors shine in rolls that differ quite wildly from their time traveling alter egos.

So I heartily endorse this film and would urge pretty much every one to watch it at least once, but sadly its not widely available. You wont find a copy in HMV, not even the big ones in London, If you are lucky you can pick up a VHS copy second hand on eBay from time to time.
